Supplies: Brown paper bag White chalk White poster board for mat |

On Friday: Help your child make a list of his favorite toys, collections, or areas of interest. Next, have him choose one topic from the list to use as the subject of the chalk drawing. (Above is a framed chalk drawing of a pair of tennis shoes hanging on a wall in a podiatrist's office!) Directions: Arrange the object(s) to be sketched. Cut open a heavy brown paper bag and lay it flat. You may want to iron out the wrinkles. Have your child use white chalk to draw what he sees, interpreting the objects in his own way. To prevent the finished drawing from smudging, first test an obscure area by giving it a quick pass with aerosol hairspray. Dry and frame. |
