An Activity for Preschoolers:
Reveal special messages and unique designs with this engaging watercolor technique.
Before You Begin:
Although this craft activity is a pre-made shape, encourage children to use as much creativity as possible when decorating their frames.
Activity Goals:
To observe the reaction between crayons and watercolors.
To explore resist art as a watercolor technique.
To create a colorful Valentine’s Day artwork.
Furthermore:
Although this activity can be done with regular art paper, the watercolor hearts provide a special quality to the crayon and watercolor resist.
Let's Get Started
STEP 1
Have children use a white crayon to draw or write a message on Liquid Watercolor™ hearts.
STEP 2
Brush over the design or message with watercolor. If using watercolor sprayers, have the children spray over their hearts with different colors.
STEP 3
Children can watch the design or message magically appear!
STEP 4
Allow the hearts to dry.
STEP 5
Once dry, you may also have children use these hearts as a card decoration or a decoration for a box or bag.
