Colorations Liquid Watercolor™ Tissue Paper Lanterns, Set of 12, for Kids

These tissue-paper lanterns are a beautiful decoration that will brighten any room! Use spray bottles or brushes to paint them with liquid watercolor (but do not overly saturate). For even more dazzle, enhance the lanterns with gold or silver liquid watercolor accents, or add glitter, sequins, or rhinestones. Each lantern measures 5" in diameter. (Note: These lanterns are not intended for use with candles or light bulbs.)

To create your own magic lanterns, first assemble a lantern by "popping" it up and inserting the metal spacer. Then, use spray bottles or brushes to paint the lantern with liquid watercolor. For a shimmery look, use a brush to apply a light coat of gold or silver liquid watercolor over the entire lantern. Allow the paint to dry completely before adding accents in other liquid watercolor colors. When dry, you can further decorate with glitter, gemstones, or stickers to add extra pizzazz.

These customizable tissue-paper lanterns make a wonderful addition to your arts and crafts curriculum. They provide children with varied, open-ended opportunities and materials to express themselves creatively through two- and three-dimensional art. This activity helps develop and widen skills that support artistic expression, promotes the development of fine motor skills, and encourages self-expression - all key components of the NAEYC Curriculum Content Area for Cognitive Development.

The set of 12 white tissue-paper lanterns can be used as decorations for various occasions, such as making them red, white, and blue to hang up for the Fourth of July. The easy assembly process of popping up the lantern and inserting the metal spacer allows children to quickly get started on the decorating process.

In summary, these versatile and customizable tissue-paper lanterns are a fantastic resource for your arts and crafts curriculum. They provide a fun, engaging way for children to explore their creativity, develop fine motor skills, and express themselves. Whether used as standalone decorations or as part of a larger project, these magic lanterns are sure to bring a touch of brightness and wonder to any space.
