Art Project Fail

So I saw this cool project on Pinterest .......

So the whole premise was to use markers - color on coffee filters - and then spray them with water and watch how they change.......

Well, ours didn't work like that ....

This is the first one I did - as an example - to show the kids....

Nathan's first one

Kaedyn's first one ....

This one was done by me and Nathan (Nathan told me what he wanted)

Mom's

Kaedyn's

Kaedyn's again

This one Mom did - it was dictated by Kaedyn

Mom's

Noah's

Noah's ... he was drawing Pokemon

Kaedyn working on his and showing his favorite (All of them)

Nathan working on his and showing his favorite

Noah working on his and showing his favorite

So we used all the markers we had, including permanent markers ....  big mistake!  HA HA HA ... this is a major dur moment ... .

You would think - thinking about it - permanent markers won't bleed....

But I wasn't thinking (much) I guess....   I laid them all out ...

Sprayed them with water ...... and waited ...

Funny enough, it was the permanent marker that ran on a lot of them, at least a little bit, it was the other (cheap markers I got from the dollar store) that didn't...

LESSON LEARNED:  When we RE-DO this Art Project, USE WASHABLE MARKERS!  HA HA HA
