Make A Lantern
With your little ones.
This series of videos shows you how to make a lantern from a jar and tissue paper with your little one. It’s suitable for kids 18 months and up - depending on the child. They need to be old enough not to eat the glue or paper. It’s fun and easy to make this lantern - and it’s a lovely decoration for your home during the darker time of year. If you add a handle, you can let it light the way on an evening walk, too.
- You’ll need a clean, empty glass jar - any size, but taller ones may be harder to light
- Tissue paper
- White glue
- Optional, but nice: Glitter (biodegradable)
- Mod-podge for finishing
- Wire star garland for around the top and for making a handle
- You may also want a pair of scissors
- Some kind of paper or cloth to protect the surface you’re working on and possible for the floor, too
