Equipment
white glue
table salt
watercolor paints
card stock
Instructions
Use white glue to draw a design or picture onto a piece of card stock. I like to cut small pieces that fit onto a paper plate.
Once you are finished with your glue drawing, liberally sprinkle salt onto the glue.
Gently shake off onto the paper plate and set the plate aside.
Place your salt covered card stock onto a flat surface covered with newspaper or wax paper.
Use watercolor paints to gently paint onto the salt. This is so neat to see the picture come together with lots of gorgeous colors.
You won't need a lot of water, but the more pigment color you have on your brush the better. Once finished, set aside to dry completely.
Notes
Salt painting is such a fun and inexpensive craft to do with the kids!
