Learn Chinese Watercolors

Here’s a fun and easy Learn Chinese Watercolors art activity. Watercolor painting is enjoyable for both kids and adults, and many people find it relaxing. Plus, this is a great way to finally put that white crayon to use! The setup is quick. Simply write a Chinese character on the paper using a white crayon, then start painting. As you brush on color, the hidden character magically appears.

My two and four-year-old kids really enjoy painting. It’s one of the few activities that keeps my son sitting still and fully focused. For younger children, there’s no need to invest in expensive paints. You can find sets for around $1, but I recommend spending a little more, about $4, for a set with more vibrant colors.
