Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Paper towels (2 connected sheets or 4 smaller ones)
- Black permanent marker
- Washable markers in assorted colors
- Tray (to catch any spills)
- Bowl with water
- Paint brush
Instructions
- Prepare Your Paper Towels: Take two connected sheets of paper towel (or four if they're the smaller variety) to create a thicker surface for your artwork.
- Draw the Easter Egg: Using a black permanent marker on the top sheet of paper towel, draw a large Easter egg shape. Fill it with various designs such as stripes, dots, and zigzags. Press firmly to ensure the design slightly imprints onto the second sheet.
- Add Color to the Second Sheet: On the second sheet, fill in the designs with washable markers, using bright and bold colors for a more dramatic effect when revealed.
- Reassemble and Prepare for the Reveal: Carefully lay the top sheet back over the colored bottom sheet. Place this prepared "egg" on a tray to keep your workspace clean.
- Water Painting Magic: Fill a bowl with water and provide a paintbrush. Invite your child to gently brush water over the top sheet. As the water soaks through, it will reveal the stunning colors hidden below.
