Comments:
To make this easier on the younger kids I used an x-acto knife to score the protective paper. This way I only removed the paper where the kids were working. This did add about 30 minutes to the prep time. I used the craft trays (or paper plates) to collect the excess glitter. Also some of the kids choose to just use glitter and not the tissue squares.
