Paper Towel Art
Materials
- Paper towel
- Bowls of diluted food coloring or strong watercolors
Directions
- Have your child fold a piece of paper towel into a fairly small packet.
- Have her dip each corner of the packet into a bowl of colored dye (diluted food coloring or strong watercolors).
- Use a different color for each corner.
- Unfold the paper towel and hang to dry.
- You can use various types of paper; the more absorbent the paper, the faster the dye will spread.
- Dipped rice paper makes a nice gift wrap, but it is fairly expensive.
