Your Child Is Going to Love This Art Project

Kids love getting messy and creative, which is why we partnered with OxiClean™ for this post.

Hours will fly by with an artwork that will surprise your child. Water-soluble oil pastels are a fun trick — starting out just like a crayon but melting together once they mix with water. This two-step creation will delight your child and end up displayed on a wall once it's finished.

What You'll Need:

• Canvas
• Water-soluble oil pastels
• Water
• Paintbrushes

Directions:

1. Offer your child the canvas and the oil pastels. Let her create a drawing of whatever she chooses, encouraging her to fill up the entire area with color.
2. Once finished, remove the oil pastels and replace with a container of water and a variety of brushes. See what happens when the water hits the pastels!

3. After she's finished, let the painting dry then display.
