I love making homemade art supplies and sensory play materials. So it was no surprise that when I needed watercolors for an art project with the kids and did not have any store bought on hand that I would just make some. I also have a habit of not reading recipes but just doing what I think will work, lol. I often get lucky and they do work out, but there is the occasional fail. When they fail, I modify or start over. I am glad that I got lucky with the homemade scented watercolors and they worked. Art project was still on for the day.
What you need:
water
food coloring
cherry extract or other scent
small bowls
Take your small bowls and fill with water. Then add food coloring and scent. Mix well. Simple is the way I like things and these watercolors are just that.
Stay tuned for the art project we used these in later this week.
Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.
Follow along with us and be inspired to play on
and our G+ community, All Things Kids.
All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!

We made our own water colors with food coloring or old markers, but adding scents is a great idea! Must smell so great as they're painting!
