Coffee by Kids
A picture is a poem without words.

KIDS LOVE COFFEE, TOO!

It’s official! Kids just love coffee! They don’t drink it, they paint!
As coffee painting opened new doors for me, I got to know people from other places who started using coffee for painting. A pre-school teacher at the Fantasia Preschool in Stockholm, Upplands, Väsby in Sweden, Ms. Maria Askert introduced coffee painting to her students in 2009.
“You are crazy, crazy, Maria!” said a girl in a blue dress when Ms. Askert told the class they were going to paint with coffee.
“I took it in a positive way,” Ms. Askert wrote to me, “but that little girl in a blue dress paints with coffee to this day.”
Here are some photos of Ms. Askert’s students as they enjoy the coffee painting experience:
