Instructions
Preparation
With the white paper cut out a wavy section for the snowy ground.
Using the brown paper cut out a wavy section for the soil.
Again with the brown paper cut out a tree shape.
With the black cut a circle for a hole in the tree.
Then on more black paper cut out a burrow and a set for the animals to go on the ground.
Snip some bits of brown paper to form a leaf pile.
Shaving Foam Marbling
Spread the shaving cream over a tray so that it is all covered.
Drop some of the blue food colouring at intervals onto the shaving foam.
Using the end of a skewer (or paintbrush) swirl the food colouring around the shaving foam creating shapes.
Lay the white card on top of the patterned shaving foam and press down.
Peel the card away and turn over to show the shaving cream covered side.
Using a ruler scrape off the shaving cream to reveal your marbled picture.
Leave to dry for around 15 minutes.
Creating your Winter Animal Art Work.
Glue on the white snow to the bottom of the marbled picture you have created.
Now add the tree and glue in place.
Lay the brown soil on top and glue.
Glue the black circle into the trunk of the tree and then the burrow and set into the snow going into the soil.
Glue the snips of brown card to make a "leaf pile".
Now peel off the backs of the foam woodland stickers and place where they belong on the picture.
