Homemade Liquid Watercolours

So, first off, this wasn't my idea... I saw it on Pinterest.

I was helping clean out the church Sunday school room and offered to go through the giant container of markers and throw out the no good ones. Now I must confess I had ulterior motives... Namely homemade liquid watercolour paints. I've never tried liquid watercolours but apparently they are great for kids. Anyways, the boys helped me sort the markers into still good and not good piles. Then we took the not good pile and divided them into green, blue, purple, yellow, and orange/red. We threw out the black and brown ones, but in hindsight I think we should have used them too.  Anyways, then we threw out all the lids and put our markers into jars with water, like this:


We let them sit for almost one week....


Voilà! Our very own homemade paints! Check back to see how we used them....
