Materials:
Two-inch unfinished wood blocks
Small cups of undiluted liquid watercolors
Small paintbrushes
Directions: Cover your work surface with newsprint to avoid staining. Pour a small amount of liquid watercolor into a plastic cup, add a small paintbrush, and invite your child to paint a block. There are six sides to paint, so encourage your little one to apply a little watercolor to each side. Use as many or as few colors as you like. Liquid watercolors work better than paint. The watercolor soaks into the wood, and drying time is very short. When the blocks are completely dry, use them to create unique structures!
