Yes! The tissue is easy to cut and a simple design comes out quite nice, like a snowflake. You can also make templates with design ideas for the kids.

I LOVE the papel picado idea, Anne! Does it look like this? https://artfulparent.com/more-papel-picado-and-more-hearts/

I have been reading a variety of picture books/tales that demonstrate English and Spanish. They allow for great discussion of common tales they know. Good opportunities for comparing and contrasting settings, etc.
  • Rubia and the Three Osos
  • The Runaway Tortilla
  • Tortuga in Trouble
In K, I also read What can you do with a Paleta? I showed them a video of how paletas are made and images from a shop that makes them in CT. They also colored in their own paleta based on their favorite flavors/colors.


Hope these help!

I enjoy reading Dear Primo: A Letter to my Cousin by Duncan Tonatiuh with first graders and making papel picado out of tissue paper. They make beautiful decorations for the library.
