Exploding out of the page

Here's something that encourages kids to ripe paper.  By layering sheets of colour paper, and tearing up the center, you can make a drawing seem like it is EXPLODING from the page.

This might be a project for children 3+, my daughter enjoys the glueing and the ripping, but hasn't gotten to the drawing yet; just keep it in mind.

What you will need:

• 3 Sheets of construction page

• 1 sheet for your Character/Drawing

• Scissors
• Glue Stick
• Colouring material - Crayons, Paint, Markers, ect.

What you need to do:

Punch a hole through the CENTER of 2 sheets of construction paper. (your third sheet is your background to your image, so choose your colours based on that)

Next, tear the paper from that center point around to make a circular opening in the paper.

Once you have done this to 2 sheets of paper you are going to need to glue those 3 pieces together; the 2 sheets that you just ripped and the extra piece we set aside.

You are also going to need to fold back all those pieces you ripped so that they stand up and flare out.  Once completed, set this aside to dry.

While you background is drying, it is time to draw your character that you want EXPLODING from your page. - this is the one i did.

You will need to cut him out in order to be able to glue it to your back ground.

Once cut out, fold a portion of your drawing; the one side will be glued down to the background, and the other will be what will be coming off the page.

Time to glue your character down and reveal your scene.

As i mentioned above still waiting for my daughter to finish her's, i will post it once she completes it.
