Have you lost caps to your markers? Don't throw them out! They make great watercolors!
Set out the markers and a tray of water, along with some paper.
Dip the markers into the water and then draw on paper.
This was a fun fine motor exercise for our 2 year olds.
{Especially when a marker "somehow" got glue on it from the adjacent table and got stuck to the paper.}
And yes, the caps do show up later. Magically. And we save those for different projects.
sounds and looks like an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteWe do this too! I keep a bucket of them outside to use all the time!
ReplyDeleteCan you use liquid watercolors to 'refill' dried up markers? I think I read about it somewhere but forget how to do it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I can't wait to try this with my two boys.
ReplyDeleteOkidoki then. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeletelove this idea!
ReplyDeleteDang it...I just threw away 7 markers that were dried out :(
