Easy and Fun Things to Paint Spring
This winter we were very into our art (notice the use of 'were' – I am full out ignoring the fact that it is still snowing outside). One material that saw a lot of use – in many different ways was watercolors. We tried out so many different watercolor painting ideas ! I love these particular watercolor techniques because they are great for kids of all ages.
