Painting Fun
(Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
I know the colors for painting fun,
Green like grass and yellow sun,
An orange pumpkin and white snow,
A red rose and a black crow,
Blue like a mailbox, brown like an ape,
A pink pig and some purple grapes.

Make your own watercolors – SciShow Kids
Try This
Get a cup of water and a paintbrush. Let your child “paint” on the sidewalk using the water, and watch it evaporate. Explain the water seems disappear as it gets warmer because the sun is turning it into a gas, which we can't see.
