Water Canvas lets little artists explore their creative abilities on a canvas that is constantly changing as it dries. Children can stamp shapes, paint with brushes, use their hands, or test out a tool of their choice to see what types of splatters and patterns can be made. Many children enjoy filling the whole canvas with water to see it all turn a solid black, and then back to white as it dries. Cut up your roll of water canvas to fit on your easel, table, or give each child their own miniature canvas.
Includes:
- Water canvas – measures 27 5/8 inches wide x 196 7/8 inches long
- 4 – One Inch Foam Brushes
We do not recommend using any other substances than water, which should only be used on the white side of the sheet.
Q. Can Water Canvas be used more than once?
Yes! After use, allow the canvas to dry. You’ll get multiple uses. This an expendable product that will need to be replaced after repeated use.
Q. Can anything besides water be used?
No. Paint, markers, colored pencils and other art materials will leave permanent marks. Make sure sponges and brushes children use to apply water are clean and use only those that have NOT been used for painting.
Q. Can the dark back side of the canvas be used?
Use the light side. The dark back side is not for making marks. However when your water canvas is ready to be replaced, use the dark side face up as shelf liner or line a bulleting board with it!
Q. What is the best way to dry the canvas?
Hang the canvas or lay flat while drying. Drying time will depend on on how saturated the canvas is. Make sure the canvas is thoroughly dry before storing.
Q. How long will it last?
That really depends on how often it gets used and how it’s cared for, stored, dried and whether the brushes and sponges used on it are delegated for water only. Teachers have reported to us that it lasts for months, others were delighted to use it for more than 2 school years! It will get “scratched” over time but that will not effect how it works
