What you'll need:

  • Soup can
  • Red, yellow and orange tissue paper
  • White craft glue

How to make it:

  1. Be sure that soup can is clean and dry.
  2. Line the inside of the can with some white glue.
  3. Tuck a piece of red tissue paper inside the can.
  4. Tuck a piece of orange tissue paper into the red tissue paper.
  5. Tuck a piece of yellow tissue paper into the orange tissue paper.
  6. Let dry.

Tips:

  • If there are any sharp edges around the mouth of the can, smooth them with sandpaper. Most soup cans come with pop tops now.
  • Older kids can paint the can brown for an added effect.
  • If you don’t have tissue paper you can substitute with pieces of construction paper.
