Wet Chalk Art

Sometimes the most simple activities will produce the greatest results and biggest smiles. Here an easy art activity that my little one has loved:

Get a wet piece of dark paper and draw on it with chalk. Children really enjoyed dumping water on the paper. If you want to do this activity, I recommend putting the paper in a cookie sheet to keep the clean up minimal.

How easy and fun is that? :)
