    Iron the paper! After kids paint watercolor backgrounds, I have them iron the paper with a household iron. Put painting between clean papers. You won’t burn paper, but have age appropriate safely procedures. Now, kids can draw or ink on flat paper and looks great.

    The tip to keeping watercolor paper flat: you begin with clean water and paint an “X” from corner to corner on the back of the paper before you start. I learned this over 40 years ago in my high school art class. 🙂
