This morning we decided to try making paint out of brewed tea. It was a success! We are always looking for fun new ways to do things, so this was perfect.
What You'll Need:
*Tea bags of various colors/flavors
*Mugs
*Paintbrushes
*Hot water
We spent time smelling the different tea bags first and guessing what color they might make. We used Tazo Passion tea (which turned red/purple), Green tea (which turned yellow/green), and Lemon tea (which turned orange). Pour a small amount (1/2 inch) of hot water in each cup and place a tea bag in each. Once the water has changed color, remove the tea bags and paint away!
They loved that the Passion tea went on red but dried purple.
I loved that the "paint" was natural, especially when Aaron decided to drink some ;)
Haha. So funny. What a great idea, friend. You are rockin this homeschool life.
