Pour a small amount of glue onto a paper plate or other container. Have
students coat short pieces of string with glue by dipping thumb and forefinger
into the glue and then sliding fingers down the length of string. Shape it onto
paper to form outlines of flowers, butterflies, hearts or other simple (or random)
shapes. When dry, color or paint inside the raised lines created by the string.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>For students with some sight:</u> adding a bit of dark
paint to the glue will darken the string and provide contrast against the white
paper. You can also use dark yarn instead but it tends to stick more to the
fingers and so might be a harder to work with unless you water down the glue a bit.</div>
