At-Home Hobbies for Preschoolers
Splashing in Watercolors
Do you remember the sheer delight of your first swish and flick of a watercolor brush? Let's pass on that joy to our kids. With watercolors, they can splash into a puddle of colors and we won't have to worry about the cleanup tsunami afterward.
