Salt Painting


 Salt Painting





What you'll need:

Elmer's Glue

Salt

Water Paint

Thick paper


1- Create a fun design with your Elmer's glue.



 2- Sprinkle salt over the Elmer's glue.





 3- Hold the paper up to shake off the excess salt.



4- Water down your water colors and fill a dropper or syringe. 





 5- Carefully drop your colors onto the salt designs. The salt will wick up the paint and spread it.




 6- Let it dry.


This is a very easy and fun art project that a preschooler can do with just little help.

  11. FUN! I would totally have done this with my girls when they were younger. Heck, I might do it with my seventeen year old anyway. ;)

  12. I have seen this done before, each time I see it I think my kids would have fun with that. We mostly use glue sticks and the other day I bought white glue and was thinking I saw a craft that I needed white glue for and was trying to remember what the craft was for, now you have jogged my memory!!! Thanks for posting!!
