Description
A delightful activity encouraging children to explore their creativity through the sensory experience of salt painting.
Ingredients
- White school glue
- Salt (regular kitchen salt)
- Watercolor paints or food coloring
- Thick paper or cardstock
- Small containers or cups
- A soft paintbrush
- Old newspaper or a tray
Instructions
- Start by laying out some old newspaper or a tray to catch any overflow.
- Use the white glue to create shapes on your thick paper.
- Once satisfied with your glue design, gently sprinkle salt over the wet glue.
- After shaking off the excess salt, set aside the paper to allow the glue to dry slightly.
- Now comes the engaging part: mix watercolor paints or food coloring with a bit of water.
- Using the soft paintbrush, touch the wet tip against the salt and watch the colors spread.
- Allow the painting to dry fully, which could take a few hours.
