What types of paper work best for this project?

Construction paper is ideal as it is sturdy and colorful. However, any decorative paper will work well!

Can I use other forms of glue?

Clear school glue works best for this project, but you can also experiment with craft glue or even glue sticks if preferred.

How can we speed up the drying time?

Placing the crafts in a warm area or using a fan can help to speed up the drying! Just ensure children don't get too close to avoid burns.

What if the shapes won't stick?

If you've used a lot of glue, make sure to press down firmly on the shapes for a few seconds. Adding more glue could help but be cautious not to overdo it.

Are these crafts reusable?

While some crafts may be fragile, they can be saved for display. Just handle with care to avoid damage.

What age group is this project suitable for?

This project is great for toddlers through elementary-aged children, with appropriate supervision as needed.
