Coffee grounds and art.

Coffee.

It’s for breakfast.

It’s for afternoons.

It’s for art.

Talk about a simple, recycled art idea.

I saw this idea on a homeschool forum I visit and I tried it out right away.

We added various levels of coffee grounds to each tiny container to vary the levels of darkness.

The kids drew their ideas first with sharpies on watercolor paper (which helped soak up the coffee and was thicker than regular paper).

And then they mixed and painted.

I think the results from the leftover coffee are fabulous art.
