Marshmallow Magic

Time

15 to 20 minutes

Materials

Dark paper
White glue
Saucer
Miniature marshmallows

Directions

The stark contrast of black and white makes the use of space all the more obvious to the developing artist. Pour a small amount of glue into a saucer and show your child how to dip a marshmallow in and stick it in patterns to the dark paper. Young children are apt to put them all in one spot, and that is fine.

Extensions

Make little snowmen by gluing the marshmallows 3 high.
Take turns gluing marshmallows in a long line.
Go just around the edges of the paper with marshmallows.
