I`m going to try it with Year 1 when we do our Water Topic. I love the tearing and am sure they will too. It makes for great wave effect. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove these. Totally Brilliant
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use for the sails? Was it tissue paper? But how did you glue it on without having the glue areas show through?
ReplyDeleteI had students carefully use a glue stick to apply to the tissue paper. The glue dries clear.
