Bright Ideas: Creative Ways to Use 5 Star Bio Glitter in Classroom Art


Glitter in your artworks is so much creative fun. Here are some simple ideas for using eco-friendly 5 Star Bio-Glitter in the classroom or at home. Kids will love adding sparkle to their projects, and you’ll feel good knowing it’s fully compostable and safe for the environment.


 5 Star Bio-Glitte

Why use 5 Star Bio-Glitter in the classroom:

  • It sticks to wet paint or glue, making it easy for kids to control.

  • The shaker-top lets children sprinkle just the right amount without too much mess.

  • Eco-friendly and non-toxic, so perfect for school use.

  • Adds texture, sparkle, and excitement to all kinds of art projects.


Creative ways to use Bio-Glitter:

Highlight drawings and patterns:

After children paint or draw, shake a little Bio-Glitter onto wet areas to make shapes, letters, or lines pop.


Layered backgrounds: Paint a colourful background, sprinkle glitter, let it dry, then paint on top for a shimmering layered effect.


Seasonal decorations:

Make Christmas cards, Easter eggs, or Halloween masks extra sparkly by adding Bio-Glitter with glue accents.


Texture exploration: Mix a little glitter into paint or glue for a sensory, tactile experience that fascinates younger children.


Group projects and displays:

Use glitter to bring large murals or classroom displays to life. Everyone can contribute sparkly touches safely.


Reuse safely: Shake off excess glitter back into a tray for reuse, no waste, just sparkle!


Tips for teachers:

  • Use small amounts at a time with the shaker-top to avoid over-sprinkling.

  • Encourage children to press glitter gently into wet paint or glue for better adhesion.

  • Combine with other materials like coloured paper, tissue, or recycled objects for mixed-media fun.

  • Talk about sustainability while crafting — show that glitter can be beautiful and eco-friendly.


5 Star Bio-Glitter is perfect for classroom and home art because it’s safe, compostable, and easy to use with the shaker-top. These techniques keep projects simple, fun, and creative, while also teaching children about eco-conscious art. Add it to your lessons to give paintings, cards, and craft projects that magical sparkle — kids will love it!
