Ingredients

Dixie cups

Assorted colors of tempera paint

Large paint brushes

Smocks

Heavy duty (manila) painting paper

Salt

Newspapers to protect your surface while painting

Wooden popsicle sticks or other stirrers

Directions

Cover the painting table with newspaper to protect the surface from spills.

Set out one cup per color of paint for each preschool student painter.

Pour table salt into each dixie cup.

Fill each cup one quarter of the way full of the salt.

Pour the paint to fill the dixie cup the rest of the way.

Pour only one color of paint into each cup.

Use a wooden Popsicle stick to stir each mixture until the salt is totally incorporated into the paint.

Give each preschool student painter another dixie cup filled with water so that the painter can clean the brush between colors.

Allow the painters freedom to paint whatever they want, a picture or a design.

Talk about what their picture is about.

They should notice that the texture of the paint is a bit rougher than when they paint with regular and not sparkly salt paint.

Allow the paintings to dry flat on the table.

After they are completely dry, hang them up in a display in an area where the light hits them.

The effect will be lovely and the children will be very satisfied with their accomplishments.

Don't understand how someone could give craft idea lower than a 5 rating. I usually don't stop in on your craft and lotion post. I have been impressed with the # of ideas I see you post. Just not the people that think they qualify to be a critic.
