You can use any design to create salt art pictures. They key to their success though is keeping the lines simple.1. Have the children squeeze glue on all of the lines.
2. Let a teacher dip the glue designs into a tub that is filled with salt so that all of the glue is covered with salt.
3. Give each child a small watercolor paintbrush.
4. Put small amounts of liquid watercolor in ice cube containers.
5. Let the children dip their paintbrush in a color and then "touch" it gently on the salt. They will notice that the salt will make the color spread and mix with adjacent colors creating a very colorful picture.
*Special Note: Regular Elmer's glue works better for this project than washable school glue does. Make sure you use cardstock paper.
