Paintbrush, dark colored construction paper, Epsom salt, water, food coloring or liquid tempera paint
Directions for making Crystal Paint: Combine 1 cup Epsom salt with 1/2 cup of water in a bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring or liquid tempera paint to make different colors. Be sure to mix the paint well and store in a small jar. Using the Crystal Paint, have your child paint a winter scene onto a piece of dark construction paper. When it dries, the painting will have a "frosty" or icy look to it. Perfect indoor craft for your next snowy day!
