Shared by Mary Catherine 4 Comments

Welcome back to Share It Saturday!  My preschoolers and I have been having fun with watercolors recently, which led to today’s features – watercolor art for kids.

Simple Art Materials for Kids

These watercolor art ideas don’t use too many materials. So find a few projects and check your art stash, your kitchen, or your recycling bin. Then get to it!

If you don’t have all of the materials needed for the art projects, don’t worry. You can do many of these art activities without all of the supplies. Or you can replace a material or two with something else you have on-hand.

Here are a few of the materials you might use with these fun art projects for kids (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

  • Liquid watercolors
  • Coffee filters
  • Washi tape
  • Dot markers
  • Contact paper
  • Construction paper
  • Washable tempera paint
