Who this list is for
This cupcake liner hot air balloon craft is for six-year-olds making a flat scene on light blue cardstock. It is a collage project with paper balloon shapes, yarn lines, a small basket, clouds, and a sun sticker.
How to use this list
Give each child a light blue cardstock sheet and several colored paper cupcake liners. Pre-fold the liners when needed so they form balloon shapes, then glue them to the background. Add brown cardstock squares as baskets, cotton yarn lengths as balloon lines, white cotton balls as clouds, and sun stickers. Use washable markers for extra sky details.
Common mistakes
Do not expect the cupcake liners to make a three-dimensional balloon that can hang or fly. Use glue sticks for paper pieces and a small amount of washable tacky glue for cotton balls or yarn. Let pre-folded liners keep their shape instead of flattening them under heavy books.
