Materials:
-watercolor paper
-watercolor
-brushes
-bowls for water
-paper towels 

Preparation:

Cover the tables and place a sheet of watercolor paper at each child's seat.  If the students are sharing watercolor place one between every two seats with two brushes.  Place a bowl with a minimal amount of water in case they spill out for every two students.  I usually place a paper towel under each bowl so that they can wipe any excess water from their brushes.
