Glue & Salt Painting

I'm always looking for a good hot summer afternoon craft project to keep these kids busy.  This one was a bit messy, but the kids still had fun, and their creations look pretty.  All you need is white glue, salt, and a little bit of water with food coloring in it (which we used medicine cups for).  Draw a picture with the glue and sprinkle salt to cover.  Dip a paintbrush in the colored water and touch the tip of the brush to the glue.  The color spreads nicely.  Kate, age 4, had to have help with her glue and salt, but Jack did most of the project on his own.
