Give a modern twist to the classic painting and poem combo! Spice up a traditional watercolor painting project with magazine cutout letters that spell out your favorite poem.
What You Need:
- Recycled magazines
- Watercolor paper
- Watercolor paint
- Paint brushes
- Glue stick

What You Do:
- Read through your poem and imagine a scene that would go well with it.
