Baby Oil Painting- An awesome accidental discovery. Mix water and food coloring (or use liquid watercolors) in a small cup. Take a small tray and put a large drop of baby oil. Have children coat the tray with the oil (using fingers or by moving the tray). Have each child use an eye dropper to make a 'design' with the colored liquid. When design is ready, take a piece of thick white paper (we used watercolor paper) and place it on top. Wait 10-20 seconds and then peel the paper off carefully. Tip: Use a perm marker to write the child's name on the paper BEFORE getting it wet! Also, beware, these masterpieces take over 24 hours to dry.
