Fill the target area with tissue paper pieces. Experiment with how sticky the paper is by touching it frequently and placing your whole hand on it to feel the stickiness.


But he kept dumping them out so they would be easier to find and I finally convinced him to at least keep the papers on a tray. Sort of.

I also added some shiny, red, heart-shaped confetti to add interest to the activity and the final artwork. I set up two target areas, with the hope of making "one to keep and one to share," but ultimately that ended up in a slower creation process and an unwillingness to "share" any of it. Ah, the joys of being Two.


Then I cut inside the lines to isolate the heart shape, and we taped the finished product to the window!. I might have used this as a chance for Starboy to practice cutting, but at the end of the day, and at the end of a week when he's been sick, he wouldn't have had patience for it. I also cut some hearts out of the "bonus" placement area, because Starboy seemed a bit upset that it would have been discarded. This ended up in a nicer display than I had planned!
