Crayon Magic
Provide paper and crayons. Remove paper from around the crayons. Demonstrate to the child how to color on paper with the side of the crayon. The artist can use as many colors as they choose. Try coloring over the initial colors with more colors.
Use an object to scrape the top layer of crayon off. Encourage the child to draw shapes they like. Remind the artist to look for the colors underneath the top layer.
Watercolor Resist
Provide brushes, watercolors, paper, stencils and crayons. Use crayons on paper to make designs. The designs can be made using stencils or free-hand. Paint over the entire surface of the paper, except the inside of the crayon designs.
Choose different colors than the background and paint inside the crayon designs, crossing over the crayon lines to blend colors. Observe what new colors are made.

Items needed: watercolors, watercolor paper, sponges, salt and a white crayon. Draw shapes on the paper with a white crayon. Moisten paper on both sides with water, also moisten watercolors. Load damp sponge with watercolor and dab on the paper. Sprinkle salt over the wet watercolor. Dry flat. When dry, rub the salt off.
