Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

If you have little children, most likely you’d have crayons and paper, yes?

Check this out, you can create fun Scratch Art, using just crayons and paper!

Okay, you’d need a toothpick too.

(PS: If you have younger children, using Oil Pastels would be easier for them, faster and softer to cover the paper’s surface)

…

Here’s how you do it :

1. Use oil pastels / crayons, choose bright colours and cover entire page

Note: You may want to start with a small section of a page first to test things out

2. ON TOP OF the coloured page, cover it all with black oil pastel / crayon.

Yes, it takes a while and it may look very wrong, and it does get a little ‘messy’ as the kids will get black smudges on their fingers, palms, and their elbows even. You may want to have tissue / wet wipes handy.

3. When you’re done and the page is all black, get the toothpick out, and have fun!

Let the child draw with the toothpick and watch the bright colours underneath appear!

(Tips: Don’t scratch ‘too hard’, as we want to just scrape off the black top layer)

Anya did her own little version the other day, at a corner of her drawing block! =)

Have fun!!
