Expressing oneself creatively is a great way to keep your mind active, socialize with others and experience new opportunities. With this unique, yet easy, art activity, your loved one (and yourself!) can get creative and watch the movement of paint flow through the piece.
Raised Salt Art
What you need:
Cardboard or card stock paper
Table Salt
Paintbrush, thin
Liquid Watercolour paint
White craft glue
What to do:
On a piece of cardstock paper (or cardboard cut into a basic shape), "draw" a design using the white craft glue.
Sprinkle a good amount of table salt onto the glue lines; discarding any loose salt.
With a thin paintbrush, dab a drop of paint onto one area of the salted glue and watch as the paint flows through the salt. Keep dabbing in areas, changing up the colour paint you use, until all of the salted glue lines are covered.
Allow to completely dry.
