We are on such a roll with our Valentines crafts, and they're all so super-cool.

Ok, you have to check these out, Lovely.

We tried "printmaking" and we just used a styrofoam produce tray (from the grocery store) and a paint roller.

I can't believe how flipping awesome the process and results were.

I want to make all of my holiday cards this way now!

SUPER-fun and preschoolers can do this just as easily as teens!

How to make Homemade Liquid Watercolours with Dried Out Markers https://happyhooligans.ca/vibrant-homemade-liquid-watercolor-paint/ https://happyhooligans.ca/vibrant-homemade-liquid-watercolor-paint/#comments Thu, 09 Jun 2016 06:35:53 +0000 https://happyhooligans.ca/?p=13257 DON'T throw out your old, dried out markers!

Dear Teachers: When you're cleaning out your classrooms for summer this year, do not toss your dried up markers in the trash!

I'm going to show you how you can turn them into a batch of vibrant liquid watercolours for your students to paint with next fall!

Of course, if you're a parent or a caregiver who has children all year round, your kids will be able to use them even sooner.

The process is really easy, and actually quite fun and exciting.

You just need to gather up all your markers, and sort out the dried up ones to make your paint.

You're going to LOVE this project, and your kids will love the results!

Click the link below to see how it's done!
