Magic and Mayhem

This week’s Unplug Your Kids challenge is white.  So here’s the art project we did…

Isn’t it lovely? 

Okay, there was a bit more to it!

1.  Give each child a piece of watercolor paper (or any white paper) and a white crayon.  Explain that they’re making invisible art and have the kids draw elaborate drawings all in white.

2.  Hand out thick paintbrushes, watercolor paints and water.  Have the kids  paint over their drawings with the paint (either one color or many) to magically reveal their masterpieces.

That’s it!

Victoria did an undersea picture:

She liked it so much she did another page:

Anna drew a flower with long underground roots:

And Jack did a design and then made the paint into a dog:

It was quick, easy and fun!
