Art with Liquid Chalk Markers and Styrofoam Produce Trays

Jackie Currie — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 16:51:57 +0000

Here's a super quick and easy art activity for your kids!

There's virtually no set up and no clean up; all you need are chalk markers and a styrofoam produce tray.

This is perfect for those times when kids want to make a craft or get creative, but you just don't have a lot of time. And even though it's super simple, it gives them the opportunity to create, and keeps them busy for a while.

This is perfect for quiet time, or when kids are waiting to be picked up at the end of the daycare day, or just in between busy bouts of activity.
