The fun starts now. Print these Purim pages and start painting.
Last year, we featured this fun and satisfying Watercolor Painting Craft featuring salt and glue before Chanukah. Now, we bring you a Purim version!
If you loved it for Chanukah and you already have the materials on hand, download, print, and get painting right away! And if not, perhaps you tried the Watercolor painting hack this past midwinter, then it’s likely you also have everything you need at home already!
You’ll Need:
- Elmer’s style school glue
- Table Salt (Kosher salt does NOT work well)
- Heavyweight printer paper (regular printer paper will work, too, but this is better),
- Paintbrushes
- Watercolor paints
Download our Purim pictures here. The simple line drawings are easy to trace with glue.
Cover the glue with table salt and carefully shake off the excess. Let dry completely!
Dilute a bit of watercolor paint in plastic bowls of water. It’s best to use a separate paintbrush for each color.
Using the brush, dab a bit of watercolor onto the salt outline.
Watch the color spread along the salt. It won’t spread to the paper beneath it!
I’ve done this many times it’s by far my kids favorate arts n crafts! Although the post says you need paint – I personally like using food coloring. Put a drop of food coloring into a plastic cup and add a bit of water – that’s all, now you have watercolor ‘paint’.
Would this work if i dilute acrylic paint in water?
