Many years ago, I bought a bunch of Kool Aid packets on sale, thinking I would make and drink it. Well after making the first pitcher it didn't taste anything I remembered so it has been sitting in a ziploc bag ever since. I saw on Play at Home mom an idea for Kool Aid painting.

After nap yesterday, I let Tiny have at it. We opened up a few different color packets.


Tiny poured out the powder right onto the construction paper


She would pour the powder into a pile and then had to move it around with her hand, caution this does "stain" the hands a little bit. Tiny doesn't like having her hands messy so this bothered her a little bit. We had to keep stopping to wash her hands with soap and water.


We didn't have any spray bottles on hand so we had to use a cup of water and a straw. I'm sure this would work much better with a spray bottle of water. Tiny loved dropping the water on. I was glad we did this over a placemat, but the consturstruction paper held up well.


I love the Fisher Price Space Saver high chair. Teeny was able to sit by and watch the whole mess happen.


It's been almost 24 hours, and they are just about dry. I will post a picture of the finished product once they are dry.
Today we are going to be using the rest of the Kool Aid in the packets (plus a little more I'm sure) to color and scent some clay.



So here are Tiny's Kool Aid paintings. She had a blast doing them, and about 5 days later they still smell like Kool Aid.
