Kid Crafts: Fun with Water!

We started out with these giant coffee filter things.  (According to the Discount School Supply website they’re called Texas Snowflakes.  I only had one, so this is cut into quarters).

We used some washable markers.

The coffee filters were slightly better than the regular paper, but seems like the “snowflakes” worked the best.
