Crayon Engraving
Poster paint applied over a crayon foundation

begins this etching application.

 

 

Supplies:
white poster board (1/4 piece)
crayons

dark poster paint
liquid detergent (Ivory) and sponge brush
bowl, newspapers, and large paper clip
 

On Friday: Motivate your child through a story, trip, fall leaf walk, ocean view, or trip to an aquarium, pet store, etc.
 

Directions:
To begin, apply a heavy application of crayon over the entire piece of poster board. (A fall picture would require red, brown, yellow, and green crayons, while an ocean picture would require shades of blue, green, etc.) See the left side of the photo above for an illustration.
 

Next, in a small bowl, mix two parts poster paint to one part liquid detergent. (An ocean view would require dark blue paint whereby a fall picture would require dark brown or black paint.) Cover the entire surface with the mixture. Let dry.
 

Finally, using the end of an open paper clip or other sharp object,  draw a picture by gently scratching in large shapes (fall leaves, fish, etc.) The resulting picture will appear almost illuminated!

 

  
 
Reference photo at the top of the page: One day in the spring, this baby bird sat just outside our office window. Both his parents spent the afternoon trying to teach this reluctant bird to fly. They took turns flying low, circling, chirping, and demonstrating technique. All the while, our little feathered friend held on tightly to the branch. As the sun began to set, he finally spread his wings, and the three headed skyward. Early childhood education: fly low, circle close, hover, encourage, instruct, be patient, work to maintain close family ties.
