EASY SALT PAINTING FOR KIDS

What is raised salt painting?

Kid’s get to make a design out of glue and then salt is sprinkled over the design. Watercolors complete the design for a gorgeous craft project.

I use Crayola water colors but you can use the brand you prefer. It’s such a simple project and so cheap to make that you will love doing this!

Don’t forget to use card stock because you need something that will hold up to the salt and paint. Regular paper will be too thin.

 

Materials:

• white glue
• table salt
• watercolor paints
• card stock

How do you do salt painting?

1. Use white glue to draw a design or picture onto a piece of card stock. I like to cut small pieces that fit onto a paper plate.

2. Once you are finished with your glue drawing, liberally sprinkle salt onto the glue.

3. Gently shake off onto the paper plate and set the plate aside.

4. Place your salt covered card stock onto a flat surface covered with newspaper or wax paper.

5. Use watercolor paints to gently paint onto the salt. This is so neat to see the picture come together with lots of gorgeous colors.

6. You won’t need a lot of water, but the more pigment color you have on your brush the better. Once finished, set aside to dry completely.
