You know those activities you did as a kid, the super simple ideas that your mom or grandma came up with for you to do when you were bored? This is one of those and used to be a favorite of my boys! All you need is water, a paintbrush (or several) and a surface.

It’s fun for little ones too (they might like the bigger brushes). When my boys were toddlers they didn’t paint anything specific, they just liked seeing the water darken the surface.
