Winter is so lo-o-ong in Canada. If you need some energy, let's make a coffee picture.
My students have just started watercolour session. Most of schools and day-cares use tempera paint for their project, so if you try to teach children watercolour tecniques you can meet the same problem. Children 7-8 y.o. try to use watercolour paint the same thickness as tempera or guache paint.
I have found that starting with a coffee painting helps a lot to teach them how to use watercolour. You can go to Lessons to get all information about coffee painting
