Painting with watercolors and food packaging membrane

2 to 7 years

Your kid will certainly like this original way of painting!

You will need:


  • watercolors;
  • brush, jar with water;
  • watercolor paper;
  • food packaging membrane.

First at all, the sheet of paper should be moistened with water with a thick brush or spray.

While the paper is wet, ask your child to draw a picture. It can be something specific and an abstract drawing.

Then cover the picture with food packaging membrane. Do not try to smooth out the folds of the membrane - the more folds, the more beautiful the picture you'll get!

When the colors are dry, remove the  food packaging membrane.

Your picture is ready!

You can use the picture as an original paper for cutting out figures and decorating card, etc!

Make a gift for your relavite of a friend and decorate it with the original paper!

Take photos of the process, make a collage and upload it to the App. Add some words about the gifts you've done and wether your kid liked the task.
