Painting with salt is like doing a magic trick! ✨ When you add color, you can see it slowly climb up the tiny salt crystals. It looks so cool and exciting!
Little kids can make fun scribbles and shapes. Bigger kids can try drawing animals ?, letters ?, flowers ?, or even people!

- Paper or canvas
- Glue bottle
- Table salt
- Liquid watercolors
- Paintbrush or pipette (dropper)
- Newspaper or paper bags (to keep the table clean)
