With regular craft glue from a squeeze bottle, some table salt and watercolor you can make nice projects! It's fun for everyone, for adults, but also for toddlers and toddlers!

A very good tip from my mother: Spray the end result with HAERLAY! Then the grains just stay in place and you don't have salt everywhere..:). That really works!

Supplies:

Piece of cardboard (box) or at least 220 grams of paper (white, black or coloured)
Ordinary white craft glue in a spout bottle with which you put not too thick stripes. I used Cre-Aation textile glue myself, which is also fine. I think the thick spout of the Grafix Knutsellglue is too thick, you can't draw with that.
Table salt. That could be in a straw can, or you put salt in a large bowl or container against tampering. Make sure your drawing fits in, then sprinkle your salt on top.
Mask a few jars containing some watercolor. In each jar, insert a pointed brush.
You can also use pipettes, for the smallest children that is more convenient.
