Crayon / Oil Pastels and Food Colour Paintings

Now these were fun but may I suggest the organiser of the food colour wear gloves!!!

All you need is:

• Food colour (various colours)
• White paper (we used cartrige paper)
• Brushes
• Water
• Oil Pastels
• Paint pallette or similar
• Disposable gloves
• Something to cover the surface you are using

Method:

1. Draw a picture / shape etc on the piece of paper with Crayon or Oil Pastels
2. Prepare your food colour (put on gloves) We just added a couple of drops to the pallette and a little water to the food colour.  You could use it straight but I preferred to mix a bit a water into it.  Feel free to mix the colours together to get any colour you prefer.
3. Now let them use a paint brush (one for each colour) and cover their work in different colours. 
4. Let them dry!

I think, as you can see from below, they turn out fabulous :)
