"Hi, I'm Pam on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you different art projects for kids. Now if you're like me or any other teacher or parent, you get kind of frustrated when you go out and you buy these markers and kids leave the lids off of them and of course they dry up and you can't use them. Actually, you can. All you have to do is take a dried up marker and add it to a cup of water and you get a water color and the kids can actually use a brush in there and paint with it or with the water being on the marker, they can take the actual marker and use it to color on the paper. The color is going to be a little bit darker if you use the marker as opposed to the paint brush. But when doing this, this is a great way to talk to kids about different art mediums and textures that come from the different art things you use, for instance, if you use a water color, it looks quite different than if you take regular paint and paint next to it. The paint is thicker, it's harder, and paint is quite different from if you take chalk and draw on a picture. Or, if you use a marker or a crayon, they're all different."
