Pumpkin Salt Painting

Make creative and beautiful pumpkins to decorate your home for Autumn and Halloween with a combination of a painting and science activity.

What You’ll Need:

• Watercolors

• Iodized salt

• Liquid glue

• Construction paper

5 Easy Steps:

• Begin by drawing a pumpkin on your construction paper

• Squeeze glue along the lines of your drawing

• Sprinkle a thick layer of salt on your drawing

• Brush off excess salt

• Wet your paintbrush and paint the salt delicately

Let dry and decorate around your home!

Teach your children that the salt absorbs the water in the watercolors through a chemical action leaving just the color pigments behind on your paper.
