Today I'm sharing one of my favorite HAPPY art projects that kids of all ages can do. This one comes from Ms. Patty at Deep Space Sparkle! You can use a black crayon, black oil pastel, or black sharpie to draw your birdie. The project says to use liquid watercolors, but if you don't have those than use regular pod watercolors (come in a tray). While the birdies dry, your artist can use another piece of paper to create a world for the birdie to live. Once the bird is dry - glue to the world. Post below your finished projects! ;) Happy painting!

This is a fun watercolor birds project for kindergarteners! Included is a handout which you can print out if you would like
