Fragrant Rainbow Art Harnessing Sensory Perception
🎨 Get ready for a Lively Sensory Adventure with DIY Scented Rainbow Art!
Art can be an extraordinary experience for children, and this project takes it to another level with scented bath salts! The enticing coconut scent and vibrant colors will keep your kiddo engaged as they create their masterpiece. Let's dive in!
DIY Scented Rainbow Art
To immerse yourself in this odorous art adventure, gather a few simple supplies:
- Scented bath salts (preferably coconut-scented)
- Liquid food coloring (for a better color payoff, stick to this type)
- Toothpicks for stirring
Mix and match the colors by adding a few drops of liquid food coloring to each section of salts. Stir the salts with toothpicks and let them dry. For a better outcome, we recommend allowing them to dry overnight.
Once the salts are ready to use, help your child draw a rainbow with glue. By pinching the salts, they can practice a great tip-to-tip grasp, enhancing fine motor skill development. Sprinkle the colored salts in rainbow order, and engage in a fun conversation about color identification, rainbow order, and ROY G BIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet).
Be aware that the use of food coloring may stain hands, so consider using liquid watercolors for a more mess-free experience.
