Iced Tea Water Play
Perfect for a Summer's afternoon!
The Set Up
Water play doesn’t need much to be engaging, does it? Cool water, gentle colour, and a few thoughtful additions are more than enough!
Fill tubs, bowls, or jugs with water and add a few drops of yellow or orange liquid watercolour, letting it drift before stirring. Float in slices of lemon and orange, then add fresh mint. I can smell it from here!
Real vessels make a big difference too, so try to find jugs, cups, small teapots, ladles.
Variations
Add ice cubes for sound and temperature contrast.
Use clear cups to highlight colour gradients.
Limit the palette to a single colour family for a calmer feel.
Materials
Water
Liquid watercolour (3 - 5 drops is more than enough)
Lemon and orange slices
Fresh mint
Jugs, cups, ladles
