  • Once mixed divide the glue mixture into smaller containers, using one container for each color of paint that you wish to make.

Once dry hang kids art at their level, and they will delight in sniffing their creations. No scratching is needed, but Rosie and Jewel still like to gently rub the art and then sniff.
