Salt Art for Kids

Sometimes art is all about the process, and this Salt Art has such a cool process, your kids will want to try it again and again. What we love about this art activity is the magic way the color travels through the salt during the painting process. Since salt is inexpensive it’s no biggie to let the kids make as many paintings as they want. Supplies: Craft paper (We like using cardstock because it is thicker paper and holds the glue and salt better) Craft Glue Salt Tray Paint brush or pipette watercolor paint Directions: Lay your paper on the tray for easy cleanup. Make a picture with the glue. Sprinkle salt over the glue. Shake off the excess salt onto the tray. Add color to the salt by adding drops of paint to the salt. A little dab of color will go a long way as it spreads throughout the salt. It’s like the painting comes to life as the paint goes where it wants. Once the painting is dry the colors will fade a bit and the salt will shake off so then you can grab your salt container and start the process all over again.
