Getting creative with kids stuck inside can be an interesting task. Thank goodness for family/parenting magazines that come up with all sorts of crafts and activities. Today Chris had a friend over to play. The weather is so so here: cloudy, cool and chances of rain. I found this science art idea in a magazine and decided to give it a try. The kids weren't too sure at the beginning but when the ink started to flow and make different designs they all thought it was cool. All you do is cut the bottom circle out of coffee filters, use washable markers and make some designs on it, then punch a small hole in the middle, thread a wound up piece of filter through the hole and then place in a cup of water. The extra filter acts as a wick and sucks up the water to the paper you colored and the ink spreads. Very pretty and a neat thing to watch happen.
