Are you looking for a fun activity to do with your children between 2 and 3 years old? ?
It's true that it's not easy to keep children busy, especially during periods of confinement.
Fortunately, a kindergarten teacher gave me her recipe for salt paint.
A little salt, water, glue and off you go for a great activity.
The technique is super simple and the little ones love it! Watch:
- fine salt
- 1 to 2 drops of food coloring in different colors
- white glue
- sheets of paper
- 4 small containers
1. Pour three tablespoons of salt into each bowl.
2. Add food coloring.
3. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous colored mixture.
4. Spread the glue on the sheet of paper with an old paintbrush.
5. Ask the children to use the colored salt to paint the leaf.
There you go, now you know how to keep your kids busy with salt paint :-)
Simple, fast and economical!
It's like sand painting... but with salt.
Handy when you're out of paint at home. And it's much cheaper!
In addition, you are sure that there are no toxic products in your salt paint.
Kids love mixing colors with their hands to get their paint!
All they have to do is spread it on the leaves with their fingers or a brush to make funny shapes.
Of course, nothing prevents you from helping them to create a beautiful work of art!
It's the perfect activity to occupy children aged 2 to 3 on a rainy day.
If you don't have fine salt, you can use Epsom salt or try coarse salt.
