Description

A delightful art project combining colors, textures, and fun for kids through raised-salt painting.


Materials

  • White school glue
  • Table salt
  • Watercolor paints
  • Paintbrush
  • Thick paper or cardstock
  • Pencils for sketching


Instructions

  1. Sketch the paw: Lightly draw a large paw shape on your cardstock.
  2. Apply glue: Trace the outline of the paw with white school glue.
  3. Add salt: While the glue is still wet, sprinkle table salt over the paw shape.
  4. Shake off excess salt: Gently shake off leftover salt onto a clean sheet of paper.
  5. Paint with watercolors: Dip your brush into watercolors and touch the paint to the salt.

Notes

Allow the glue to dry for a few minutes before adding salt for better texture. Use a clean brush for each color.
