![]() ![]() This watercolor activity uses pipettes or droppers and is so fun and mesmerizing to watch. (Be sure to check out these other projects using watercolors: Colorful Newspaper Snowflakes and Tide Pool Art for Kids.) So today when I was trying to think of an easy project to keep my poor sick little guy occupied, I grabbed our usual favorite material- watercolors! Watercolors always seem to be our go-to art material when we’re looking for something quick and easy. We used droppers and liquid watercolors to create really colorful and interesting art- such a fun activity for little hands and great fine motor practice too! Follow our Art for Kids Pinterest board! This classic art activity for kids is always a hit and is fun for all ages- toddler, preschool, kindergarten and on up. If you’re concerned about breakage, put the paint in sturdy plastic containers instead.You’ll definitely want to try our latest art process art project– painting with pipettes and watercolors. I’ve found that the glass jars work best for holding the liquid watercolors, as the jars are less prone to tipping over. I used a variety of old glass jars I had on-hand. Once you have a multitude of flowers cut out of coffee filters, grab your paint! Squirt some liquid watercolors into a few containers. Consider having them free-hand cut their own flowers, or use the template to trace before cutting. Of course, you can get the children in on the prep work, too. Okay, so it probably wasn’t a zillion! I’m glad I was able to get my hands on a die-cut machine, as this project extended farther than I originally planned (meaning I had to go back a few times to make more flowers out of coffee filters). The first time we made coffee filter flowers, I cut out a zillion flowers from a stack of coffee filters. I’ve only used a manual machine with this, so I’m not positive how well a digital one works. The die-cut machine is definitely the fastest, though. I think you can cut multiple coffee filter flowers out whichever way you choose.
