This idea came from here and it has been so much fun, I have done it three times with Mister and Ladybug. The first time they were so surprised to see a picture emerge from their paining. Ladybug told me when she was finished, “I was SO surprised!”
On a sheet of white paper draw or write with white crayon and let your child/children watercolor. When I gave this activity to Mister and Ladybug I didn't hint that there would be a surprise on the paper.

This time I included the Wee One in the fun because she loves to paint. At first she just dipped her paintbrush in the water and put a few marks on her paper until I guided her to use the whole paper to see her surprises. She shouted, “CIRCLE!”

That does sound fun!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this activity idea a few weeks ago, was going to try it, and forgot. Thank you for the reminder! Looks like they had fun. So many things you could do with it!
ReplyDeleteBaby Bear loves this activity, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is there not to love? It reminds me of something I would have loved to do as a child. Too bad I didn't know about it while I was in the classroom.
