Color Splash

This was more of a make and throw away project but Liv had a lot of fun doing it. She had so much fun that we had one of those terrible two moments when I told her we were done and it was time to get ready for bed! When I say this is a make and throw away project it is because the colors turned blah and the salt was crumbling off the pages once the glue had dried. So here is how you can create your own!

SUPPLIES

Food Coloring

Salt/Salt Shaker

Paper
Glue
Medicine Dropper (great utensil once you are done with that bottle of infant tylenol)

DIRECTIONS

1) Mix together 1 T of Water and 5 drops of food coloring (we made 4 shades and mixed them in Liv's tiny plastic cups)

2) Place the paper inside a bar pan/cookie sheet. This will contain the mess.

3) Help your little one put glue all over the paper (we made some different designs on a couple of ours).

4) Using the salt shaker have your toddler shake salt onto the paper covering the glue. Once done shake off the excess.

5) Using the medicine dropper squeeze the liquid onto the paper and watch the salt absorb the color and how the colors intermix.

Have fun but remember to throw this one out when your little one is not looking. If I would have done this I would have avoided terrible two moment #2 for this project :)
