Water and markers


I've been doing a lot of art projects with Lucas lately (it's one of the few things that keeps him happy and quiet during Gwendolyn's nap times) As in, this may soon become a toddler art blog :) We took a few of his washable marker drawings and left them out in the rain to see the effect water would have on the pictures. They looked SO cool. Ufortunately, I couldn't think of what to do with a buch of sopping wet, color leaking drawings. So I left them out until the rain stopped and they dried. I didn't anticipate that the rain washing all of the color away.. Huh.. So we tried again in the kitchen today with a spray bottle of water - it worked MUCH better. Lucas happilly poked the colorful puddles around with his finger for a while and lost interest - maybe this is an older kid activity??
