Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A clean broad paintbrush, a little water, and a suitable outdoor surface.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Dip the brush in a shallow amount of water.
- Draw a line or a large shape on the surface.
- Watch the mark fade as it dries, then make another picture.
Adult chooses a safe non-slip surface, stays with the child, and empties the water afterward.
