*Cool Art Activity to Try:
What you will need: construction paper, glue, salt, and food coloring
What to do: Take the glue and create whatever design you want on the construction paper. Use a salt shaker to sprinkle over the glue design. Make sure glue is covered in the salt and shake excess salt off of the paper. Take the food coloring and drop one drop at a time on the glue/salt design. Watch the colors spread all over the design to create a cool art project. This activity is great for kids who want to make their own name signs for their bedroom door- just hang when it dries!
