St. Mary's Child Center Fall 2013 Seminar

Exploring and Interpreting the Work of the Schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy

Recycling the Old and Dry into Liquid Gold

1. Rubber-banded 5 or 6 dried out water-based markers of a similar color together.
2. Then I poured water into glass baby food jars below the screw top area.
3. Put the color tips of the markers into the water and just let it be. If you look closely at the green jar you can just see the color gliding out of the markers and sinking to the bottom. It was fun to watch and I showed several of my students whose classes attended that day.The longer it sits the better. I had a few jars that sat all school day (8 hours) and another set that sat all night long. Both turned out well. 2 to 4 hours isn't near enough time.
4. Discard markers, and enjoy the water color!
