Coffee filter spring decorations

We have had the best time lately making these coffee filter prints.

The boys dribbled food coloring onto the coffee filters.  Some of them got pressed together to make symmetric prints, but most ended up pretty random.  They went through an entire container of coffee filters.

Then Noah picked out a few to string up in a garland.

And now we're all decorated for spring!

A word of warning, though:  food coloring stains. 

Half the fun for the boys was getting to use the normally off-limits food coloring, but I'm sure we could have used watercolors with equal success.
