Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
The kids helped me gather a few materials for a morning of painting. Painting is one activity that always entertains both my kids.
Step 2
First, they used a glue stick to glue the doily down on a sheet of watercolor paper. I was sure to tell them we only needed a little glue since we would be removing the doily later, but these kids love their glue sticks and felt the need to cover the entire doily with purple paste!
Step 3
They got to painting with our liquid watercolors. Oh, how we love liquid watercolors!
Step 4
Once they were done painting, we pulled up the doilies to reveal beautiful snowflakes. This was especially exciting for my two-year-old.
Final result!
We let our paintings dry and hung them up. Then the kiddos got started on some more snowflake paintings!
