Tired of old boring backgrounds, don't have any paper rolls, or just
looking for a cheap alernative?
Try Some of the following ideas:
Clothe Fabric/Sheet
- Get parents to donate old cloth
- Purchase out of season fabric at the store for real cheap
- Use it to create your own border
Hang a white sheet across a fence and let your children use water bottles to spray on it
Wrapping Paper
- Use to make letters (trace backwards on back and cutout)
- Use backside and let children decorate background
- Use it to create your own border
Newsprint
Wallpaper
- Can find out of date cheap
Shower Curtain
- Sometimes available at dollar stores
- Can't Glue Anything to It
Burlap
- Available at Craft Stores
- For added effect have children sprinkle paint or colored glue on it
Tablecloths (cheap at the dollar store)
- Use Blue for the Sea or Sky
- Use Green for Grass, Lilly Pads, etc.
