What You Need:
An easel or any upright painting space
Dropper (I got mine from Daiso)
Containers for watercolor
I showed the boys how to pick up water using the dropper and how to drop the water and they were ready to explore.
I let them choose 4 colors each and was surprised to see that Y chose darker colors while K chose all the bright colors.
While painting, they used different techniques. Y squeezed the dropper and splatter on the paper while K just drop a little water at a time and used the dropper like a pencil to draw his train and track (according) to him. It’s really interesting how different children explore. They enjoyed this painting session very much and it lasted for 40 mins. K could continue painting but I think Y got jealous when I was taking pictures of K’s painting. So, I had to quickly redirect them to another activity before Y starts throwing the droppers and pouring the paint.
I thought the artworks produced were frame worthy. Left belongs to Y and right belongs to K.
