Easy STEM craft for home or school

My third graders loved this activity so much that I had to try it at home with Hattie. 🎨

So fun & easy!

Here are some tips I learned along the way so you can save yourself from the headache:

1 - Don’t wait for the glue and salt to dry before painting. All of the steps should be completed immediately after one another.

2 - The water colors need to be pretty watery for best results.

3 - Tap paint lightly on the salt & watch it spread.

4 - Let everything dry/harden after painting.
