Liquid Watercolor Paint

easy to make liquid watercolor paint for preschool and kindergarten
We made water color paint from markers and water. It was super easy to do and the paint turned out great. You will need to have some type of containers (we used gladware containers which you can find here).

You will also need to have washable markers either new or used. We used crayola pip squeaks markers that I purchased online at Target. They were less expensive online versus buying them in the store. You can use any brand you wish for your paint.

I filled the containers less than halfway with warm water and then put the markers tip down inside the water. The color from the markers began to bleed into the water almost instantly. To make the colors more vibrant I put two markers in each container to make sure the paint turned out vibrant.. Since the markers where new I probably didn't need two but if you are using older markers you may need more than one marker.

I let the markers sit for 6 hours and then removed them. You can leave your markers in for less or more time until you are happy with the colors of the paint.

I made a spring flower sheet that the children used the watercolor paint with. The colors turned out nice and vibrant. The paint itself will stay nice for a long time if it stored in closed containers.

We are definitely going to make this. It's so simple and I know my class will love watching how the water changes color while the markers are in it. Thanks for all you share with us!
