Are you ready to take on an Easter STEM challenge? For our March Dollar Tree STEM Box we worked on creating some fun Easter art. To be honest I wasn’t sure how this project would turn out, but I am really happy that we tried it out.
Challenge: Make your own jelly bean watercolors.
Suggested supplies:
- Jelly beans
- Plastic containers with lids
- Paint brushes
- Coloring pages or plain paper
Step 1: Sort the jelly beans by color into separate containers.
Step 2: Pour water over jelly beans so they are completely covered. Then put the lids on and let the jelly beans dissolve.
Step 3: Paint your pictures!
As you can see the watercolors look a little strange, but they smell amazzzzzzing! Some of the lighter colors didn’t show up as clearly as I had hoped, but Jack still had a great time making his own jelly bean watercolors.
Thank you for checking out our March Dollar Tree STEM Box | 2018.
Happy Easter to all of you and your families! If you try making your own jelly bean watercolors we would love to see your completed artwork. Please feel free to share your art in the comments below or tag me on Instagram.
