We spent yesterday doing some salt painting. This is a really easy activity and nice to use for several ages.
It also looks so pretty when the colour runs along the salt.
To make your own you need:
Paper
Glue
Salt
Water colours or food colouring
Method:
- First draw your image onto the paper.
- Next trace over the image with glue.
- Pour salt over the glue.
- Use the water colours ( be sure to wet them quite a lot) and drip the colour onto the salt. You should notice how the colour spreads making the salt look like coloured crystals.
Have you tried this activity ? Did your children enjoy it?
