Materials
Art paper (affordable art paper )
Liquid watercolor paint
Paintbrush assortment
Plastic pipettes
Star Stickers (Avery work best)
Salt
Directions
Invite your child to place star stickers all over a piece of art paper. Set up some small containers of watercolor paint in blues and violets. Then invite your child to paint the art paper with just water and a brush until the entire sheet is wet. Add different blue and violet shades of watercolor paint to your paper- brushing it in different directions or swirling it so the colors blend together. (This part is super fun, and the kids LOVE it!) Sprinkle salt on top of the wet paper. Set the paper aside to dry completely. After the paint has dried completely, carefully remove the star stickers and gently brush the salt off the paper. Display the beautifully starry night picture.
