I discovered some watercolor paper tiles and watercolor crayons at a tourist shop in Cape Cod and immediately thought that they would make good small art projects for my grandson. He loved drawing on the tiles and painting water over them to see the colors wash and blend. Even the adults at the beach house had fun designing paper tiles. After they were dry, I glued them to cardboard and adhered clear contact paper to the tops to waterproof them. Now we all have pretty memory coasters that remind us of the fun we had at the Cape Cod beach house. If you can't find small tile watercolor paper, you can always cut them yourself from large watercolor sheets. I think the watercolor crayons should be available at most art supply stores like HM Ben Franklin Crafts. Color yourself some beautiful memories!
