    Texas Snowflakes

    I am really on a roll with these art project lately. Again, this uses the liquid watercolors we have used for making playdough, puffy paint, marbleized paper, etc. Normal people would use regular coffee filters or tissue paper. We are not normal and we use "Texas Snowflakes." That name cracks me up.

    I like to put the watercolor in little jars so if it spills it doesn't go all over the place. Important tip: keep lids on jars until the last moment.Kiddo used a dropper to drop it onto the "snowflake". He liked to watch the colors bleed together. "Yellow and Blue make Green!" But I think mostly he just liked the squirting action (another good reason why I should have a yard). He put on so much paint that I pressed a second snowflake on top of the first to absorb some of the liquid. He liked watching that, too.I got distracted (fancy that) and didn't get a photo of the final project, but just envision a big blobby green circle.
