Coffee Filter Art Activity

When I see a low-prep art project like this Coffee Filter Art Activity that only requires items we already have on hand, I’m usually pretty quick to gather what we need and let my kids start creating.

This activity only requires coffee filters, markers, and a spray bottle of water.

To help contain any mess that might be created, I usually place these items on a tray, but this is also a fun activity to take outside.
