Step 2:

Draw an outline for the continents including the UK Europe, Africa, South, Central and North Amarica and the Arctic with the Atlantic ocean in the middle.

Use a tub of water, brush and P{VA glue with tissue paper.

Start to cover all the earth with light blue tissue paper wetting all the paper and ripping small parts to cover the areas:

Cover the land with yellow tissue paper. Build up the land mass with the colour tissue paper overlapping some of the yellow, green and orange tones.

Step 4:

Step 5:

Add extras like cotton wool for colds, string or the earth’s atmosphere, and silver foil for the shiny areas on earth such as ice and shivering ocean.
