Remember how much fun it was to paint with watercolors? Remember those pictures that all you needed was water and a paintbrush and they magically turned a black and white picture into a colorful painting? Here are some easy ways to paint with and make your own watercolors and magic pictures.
Make Your Own Watercolor Paint
Supplies:
food coloring
water
Simply mix a few drops of food coloring into the water and paint away. Mix different colors and amounts of each color to create a rainbow of choices.
Make Your Own Magic Pictures
Supplies:
Pre-drawn Coloring Sheets (coloring books or print off a few from your computer)
washable markers or watered down washable paint
cotton swap or chopstick
Simply dot the picture with the washable paint using the cotton swap or chopstick making sure that each space has color. You can also do this by dotting the picture with the washable marker as well although this can be time consuming if you have a large picture to cover.
Allow this to dry completely and then set aside for a rainy day. All the child needs to do is pull out a paintbrush and some water and paint away. The dried paint or marker will come back to life and spread when it is painted over with water.
