GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
First, put some newspaper down to keep your table clean. Place one paper plate upside down on the newspaper. Pinch a pompom with a clothespin to make a 'paint brush'. Squeeze a little black paint onto the newspaper. Dip your pompom brush into the black paint. Paint the bottom of your paper plate black, but leave the top part unpainted. This unpainted part will be covered with cotton balls later. Let the paint dry completely.
"Are you as excited to make this as I am?"
Put things away so your space is tidy for next time.
Check off each supply when it is put away — and any clean-up tips underneath are done too. You might find a fun surprise!
