Let’s explore the wonders of making watercolors, Kool-Aid style! This may just be the world’s easiest recipe for paint. The aromatic punch of their tutti-fruity scents are a great sensory experience — especially in the morning! Once it dries their masterpiece become a great scratch-n-sniff picture too! Be sure to wear painting clothes, Kool-Aid can stain!
Materials Needed:
- A variety of .13- to .23-ounce packets of unsweetened Kool-Aid
- Warm water
- Brushes, paper, bowls
What’s Next:
- For each color combine one packet of drink mix and two teaspoons of water in a small cup, stirring until the mix dissolves.
- Use with paintbrushes on watercolor paper. {Tip} Yellow isn’t very vibrant, so try less water first, then add.
- Refrigerate any leftover paints in airtight containers for up to three days.
{Tip} Use minimal water to keep the vibrance color. At first I added to much and it was more like faded color painting, lol. Definitely cover your work surface and wear messy clothes.
C’s masterpiece …
