To be honest, the most difficult part about making skittles paints is separating the Skittles by color. But, leave that job to the kiddos, as it makes for a great sorting activity! Your little ones will have fun sorting the candies and it really is a great way to teach them about colors.

Plus, I have included a free Easter egg coloring page printable below to get the kids started painting with these fun Skittles watercolor paints.

How to Make Skittles Paints:

Separate Skittles candies by colors. Place 8 or more Skittles of the same color in each cup.

Pour warm water into each cup until it is about half way full.

Note: Cold water would work too, but you would have to allow more time for the color to leach out of the Skittles and into the water.

Allow the Skittles to soak in the water for a few minutes, and then stir to mix the color well. At this point, you can either remove the candies from the cups with a spoon or leave them. They will not do any harm if left in the cups, but they will eventually cause a film to develop on top of the water.

Use your Skittle watercolors paint like you would any other watercolor paints. Let the kids paint the Easter coloring sheet (available to download below) or on a simple sheet of white paper.
