Keeping Up With Kids

Thanks to Valerie Spooner from the Rusk County Community Library in Ladysmith for this great idea that works with ALL AGES!

I’ve been doing watercolor painting events every 3-4 months and they have been hugely popular with all ages and don’t cost a ton of money. A volunteer cuts out designs using a Cricut machine and sticky backed vinyl and we stick them to watercolor paper and the people paint right over it, so anyone can do it, even the very young or those with limited mobility in their hands and arms. Then you can remove the sticker or leave it there. I provide regular watercolors, already diluted watercolors, paint daubers, regular markers, and spray bottles of water so there are paint options for any ability.
