We made an easy watercolor contact paper flower using watercolor resist technique. I asked my preschooler to list people whom she loves the most. She came up with a very big list. As most of them were friends, we categorized them under friends. At the end, we had 6 people in the list. We made a flower with 6 petals, one petal for each people she loved.

Easy Watercolor idea!

Materials required to make this easy watercolor flower:

Affiliation links are used in the post.

1. Contact paper

2. Watercolor paint

3. Watercolor paper

4. Brush

5. Marker

Method:

1. My preschooler had 6 people in her list. I had asked her to list only people. I should have asked her to list pets and things too.
2. As there were 6 people in her list, I drew 6 heart shapes at the back of the contact paper.  I cut them out. 
3. I pasted the heart petals on the watercolor paper.  Since there were 6 petals,  I arranged the petals like a flower. If there are more hearts (if the child likes more things or people), the hearts can be arranged like  flying hearts like we did in our aluminium foil flying heart project.
4. My preschooler painted on the entire watercolor paper. 
5. Once the entire paper was painted, we let our painting dry.
6. We removed the contact paper. Contact paper had resisted the paint creating a beautiful flower.
7. My preschooler wrote the people  in each petal with marker.

Our favorite people flower is done! My preschool and I were discussing the reason why she loved them. It was fun. What do you think about our flower?
