Tissue paper crafts for kindergarten are a fun and easy way for kids to explore their creativity. And they develop their fine motor skills. Also, grab my other tips, ideas, and crafts for kindergarten on my page Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum.
Cutting, pinching, and gluing are all important fine motor skills.
Additionally, they are wonderful for both prewriting and to supplement once you child begins to write.
They are also a quick way to incorporate color into art projects.
Besides they are easy on the wallet, inexpensive and you usually only need a small amount for crafts.
For this one I was totally inspired by this adorable book, The Day The Crayons Quit.
While a bit newer, I am convinced it will become a classic picture book. They’ll be loved like Goodnight Moon and Where The Wild Things Are.
In the story, each crayon color writes a letter to their owner Duncan on why they feel over or under used and that they want to quit.
It’s a wonderful story and incites lots of giggles, especially when the peach crayon enters the picture.
Grab a copy of The Day The Crayons Quit to add to your picture book collection.

If you want to do a crayon craft with tissue paper how can we leave out this book?
Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Blue crayon needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. Black crayon wants to be used for more than just outlining. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?

CRAYON TISSUE PAPER CRAFT FOR KINDERGARTEN
You will need:
- Pencil
- Tissue paper
- Cardboard
- Pencil
- Tacky glue
First, draw and cut out a crayon shape onto your cardboard piece, I made mine 4×8” and then drew the point by drawing a 4” line angled in the middle to form the tip.
Cut out the crayon shape with scissors or a straight blade for thicker cardboard.
Mark out on your cardboard where the black label portions of the crayon will be.
If you make your crayon animated like the ones in the book go ahead and mark off their eyes mouth as well.
Cut your chosen tissue colors down into 1×1’ squares.
Ball up each little square of tissue into a tight little ball.
Cover one section in glue.
Press into the corner on the glued part, repeat until you have filled the entire section.
I found it best to fill in the details of the black first then fill in with the red.
Move onto your next color and keep going until it is completely filled in.
Cut two pipe cleaners in half.
Glue pipe cleaner arms and legs to the back of your crayon using the halves, bend the ends into hands and feet.
Optional- add a loop of yarn or string to the back and glue into place for hanging on the wall.
While this took a while to make, balling the little bits and placing them was a bit time consuming, I am pretty sure we will revisit this craft and make several crayon colors.
