How to make the mysterious silhouette, step by step

2. Put some water in the glass, look for the brushes and watercolors ... and paint!

3. Color the entire sheet with colors. Let your child mix the colors to your liking, do not forbid him to use any color.

4. Let the paper dry. When it is dry, remove the bodybuilder's tape with care. And ready! You discovered the secret figure!

This activity helps the child to see that with imagination ... magic can be done! It appears in the book Thinks for Kids, by Raúl Bermejo and Nacho Uve.
