Tearing paper and gluing

Lately Tilly enjoys trying to cut paper (her scissor skills are slowly developing!) and also tearing paper into strips. Really the cutting and tearing grabs her interest most - but I then encourage her to stick the pieces down to make a collage.

Above, the yellow strips are stuck onto a paper-plate to make a sun.

Below large colour pieces are stuck onto a paper background: abstract.

Tilly is using watered down PVA glue and a brush. She usually uses glue sticks, but I decided to try a different glue this day. Watery glue is messier... so as it was a hot day we decided to take her good clothes off!
