Description
A delightful craft that combines creativity and science, making textured artwork with salt and colorful watercolor paints.
Ingredients
- White school glue
- Salt (table salt or coarse)
- Watercolor paints (liquid)
- Thick paper or cardstock
- Small paintbrush
- Tray or plate (to catch excess salt)
- Optional: Dropper or pipette for painting
Instructions
- Create Your Design: Start with a piece of thick paper or cardstock. Use white school glue to draw a design or pattern. Be generous with the glue to ensure the salt sticks well.
- Apply Salt: While the glue is still wet, sprinkle salt over the design generously. Shake off any excess salt onto a tray or plate.
- Add Color: Using a droplet or pipette, collect small amounts of liquid watercolor paint. Drop the paint onto the salt and experiment with color mixing.
- Let It Dry: Allow the painting to dry completely for a few hours before gently shaking off the excess salt.
Notes
Experiment with different types of salt and paint for varied textures and effects. Supervise younger children during the activity.
