Paper Towel Art

Materials

• Paper towel
• Bowls of diluted food coloring or strong watercolors

Directions

1. Have your child fold a piece of paper towel into a fairly small packet.
2. Have her dip each corner of the packet into a bowl of colored dye (diluted food coloring or strong watercolors).
3. Use a different color for each corner.
4. Unfold the paper towel and hang to dry.
5. You can use various types of paper; the more absorbent the paper, the faster the dye will spread.
6. Dipped rice paper makes a nice gift wrap, but it is fairly expensive.
