Handy tips
Here are some of the materials Jenny uses in the video:
- Ice cube tray
- Food colouring – this can stain, so make sure an adult is on hand!
- Large sheet of paper
- Paintbrush
- An old squirty bottle (like a washing-up liquid bottle)
- Bucket or jug of water
- Coloured chalk
It can get messy so we recommend wearing old clothes and finding a safe spot inside or outside to get creative.
