Salt painting is such a fun process art activity for kids and the creations always turn out so gorgeous. We did this simple art technique and then turned them into a kid-made Christmas ornament that can be hung on the Christmas tree or combined to make a Christmas garland.

Salt painted Christmas ornament step 1

Get started by having kids randomly squeeze glue on the watercolor paper. This is a great step to do the day before you want to paint, because they will need to dry overnight.

Process Art Christmas Activity

Use pipettes to drop liquid watercolors or food coloring with a bit of water onto the watercolor paper. We chose to keep the colors separate so we wouldn’t have a brown mixture for our ornaments.

Sprinkle Epsom salt on the watercolors and let the paintings dry overnight.  Once they are dry shake off the extra salt. You’ll have a beautiful sparkling painting.
