How long does it take the paint to dry?
Since you're not putting a heavy coating of paint on the paper, it shouldn't take long at all. Just touch it lightly with your finger – and if it's wet, give it more time to dry.
Make sure that it's dried all the way before having the kids hold it for the picture or putting it in a frame.
