Today we have 2 easy art activities using colored salt. I love using salt for crafts and activities because it is inexpensive, taste safe, and causes some really cool things to happen.

What happens is the water causes the salt to dissolve and spread across the paper. As the water evaporates, the salt crystallizes again on the paper.

Painting should be a part of every child's life. Sometimes the process needs to be a little more interesting than simple brushstrokes to keep toddlers and preschoolers engaged.
