Salty Water Colors



We got this idea from Mary Anne Kohl's Scribble Art. I think it might be in First Art too. Red Fish took a bottle of glue and put drips of it all over the water color paper. She loved that. Then we poured table salt on it and shook it around. Then we took our liquid water colors and when Red Fish touched the brush to the glue it would run up the glue. She also scrubbed a little with the brush. It didn't take very much paint (I'm watering the watercolors way down too.) She loved the magical effect of the paint running around. She made two of them. Thank goodness for the warm weather so we can sit outside and do projects, clean up with the hose, and jump in the little pool.
