Science Wiz Inventions Science Kit
Paperoni
The paperoni art comes in
a kit with everything you need to make the art. Paperoni is small
rolled up crepe paper. It has 2 varieties 3D or 2D. You take the
skeleton and it has glue on it. Now just press each of the paperoni on
the skeleton to create your art. I got this elephant for my kid. The
good thing about this art is it is not messy, kids have to focus and
develop patience doing it. Now for the bad part, the glue is not that
good and the art starts to fall apart real fast. For the focus and
patience part, I would recommend it. Take a picture of the finished art
quickly to show it to grandparents!!!
Lego City
Lego blocks are not just for toddlers. Lego has this whole series for the older kids and their parents. Lego City!!! Construct cars, people, airplanes, houses, image a city and you can build it. Each item generally comes in a package. If you are starting out, start with something simple like this car shown in the picture. The details are amazing. The door opens, there is steering wheel, windshield and a seat. The man has hair-piece, a suitcase and can stand or sit. With under 50 pieces for the construction, the endeavor can be completed quickly. As the kid build confidence, try more complicated construction.
Glitter Glue Art
The first time I tried to work with Glitter Glue, I had no clue what to do with it and the best art I was able to produce was 3D lettering that took forever to dry. Then I started to look around for glitter glue art. It is very versatile and you can create a simple art to a very complicated art. Here are 2 samples. The simple one needs no explanation. The other one is a glitter glue art done on paper. The outline of the picture is drawn on the glass of the photo frame. Paint all of the glass black leaving the inside of the outline of the picture. Frame the art work for a scintillating display. Send us your glitter glue art pictures at
