Happy Earth Day!

Here's a quick art project that only uses a coffee filter, markers and water!

 

I start by flattening a basket style coffee filter and coloring with markers. A word of caution: it is easy to rip the filter by putting too much pressure with the tip of the marker.

 

  

 

I used a spray bottle to help encourage fine motor skills, but I also encourage to have the artist dip their fingers in water in a bowl and flick their fingers onto the filter. Once it is fully saturated the colors will start to spread, bleed and blend.

 

 

 

Here's my finished project. I would love to see yours!
