How to make it
Watch for tissue going in the mouth. Wet tissue can clump, so swap in a new piece if they start chewing.
1Tear the tissue
Tear the tissue into pieces about the size of your toddler's palm. Let them help rip a few. Ripping is half the fun.
2Water down the glue
Mix 2 spoonfuls of glue with 1 spoonful of water in the cup. It brushes on smoother this way.
3Paint the plate with glue
Hand your toddler the wide brush. Let them cover the plate in glue, wet and messy.
4Press on the tissue
Show them how to pat a piece onto the wet plate. Then let them go. Overlaps look great.
5Add a stem
Glue a green paper stem to the top of the plate yourself.
6Let it dry
Lay it flat for about 1 hour. The tissue goes shiny and see-through in spots. That's normal.
Edie's tipPut the plate on a baking sheet. Every stray scrap and drip stays in 1 tray.
