Do You Have Ideas for Me as to What Kind of Paint to Use to Paint Styrofoam?

  • Posted on November 18, 2009 at 1:18 am

I want to help my granddaughter make little bluebirds out of a styrofoam egg for the body with a smaller little styrofoam ball for the head. We will use heavy paper to make the wings and the tail and the beak and I will get the little bb eyes to glue on.

I want to paint them blue and then put silver glitter on them and hang them with a bit of string.

They are going to be Christmas presents to family members to be keepsake Christmas ornaments with their names on them.

My parents had one like that and I inherited it when they died. It was my all time favorite Christmas decoration, my little glittery bluebird!

I gave it and one that I made with my son when he was little to him when he moved out on his own.

I want to create new memories with my little granddaughter who is 10.

What is the best paint to use to paint the foam and paper? Is it dangerous for a 10 year old girl to use a hot glue gun? Should we stick to Elmers glue? How should we get the names on them? Thanks!
