Supplies:
- Canvas, poster board or heavy paper
- Blue and black washable paint
- plastic plate or paint palate
- scrap paper
- double-sided tape or masking tape
- wooden skewers
- wooden popsicle sticks
- printer photo paper
- hot glue gun, regular glue
- silver glitter (optional)
- Cut out a circle of scrap paper and tape it to your canvas, using double-sided tape or a loop of masking tape underneath. You could trace something round to get a good circle (measuring cup, glass, masking tape roll, etc)
- Mix blue and black paint on your palate until you have a night-blue color you like. Let this dry.
- Pose children in a climbing position against a white background. We had them step up on our white stool so as to not see the floor in the picture. Take a picture of each child you will be including.
- Print pictures and cut out.
- Create the ladder. First we trimmed the skewers to fit the size of our canvas. Next, we hot glued them vertically on the canvas.
- Hot glue popsicle sticks across skewers as the rungs of your ladder. We also laid our people in place to figure out where to position the rungs.
- Glue people to the ladder.
- If you like the idea of stars in the sky, brush some glue across the top and sprinkle glitter.
