Water color paint on construction paper?
I am going to be running a craft table at an event for kids and am wondering if I could use water color pain on construction paper or if it would be best to buy water color paper. Any experience with water color paint and construction paper? Does construction paper absorb the colors? Does water color paper help the colors stand out more because it doesn't absorb it? Thanks

You need to try it first. I'm not sure that construction paper wouldn't just fall apart with water. The colors will be their best and brightest on watercolor paper. There are lots of grades of watercolor paper. You can probably pick up an inexpensive tablet at Michael's or some other craft store. An art supply store will only have more expensive products.

i think that'd be fine since the kids probably won't notice a difference. Construction paper should work just fine. Special watercolor paper, helps absorb extra water to make the outcome more defined, and the rough surface holds the color but it's pretty expensive if you'll be using a lot of it for kids who won't really know or care. I've even used normal computer paper for watercolor and it's been OK (not the best but think about what you want want the outcome for: the experience? the practice? a finished piece? )
