SAND PAPER PAINTINGS
Needed: sand paper sheets (any color)
wax crayons
oven
Heavily color a picture on sand paper. It works best if the entire area is covered. Bake for 30 seconds to a minute at 350 degrees. This process can be a bit smoky so if possible, use the vent above your stove and open doors and windows. :) Take them out with hot pads and let cool for a few seconds.
The result is a picture with softened edges, deeper color and it is "set" so it's harder to smudge.
Mount on colored construction paper for a nice effect.
I used this with my boys with old crayons that had been used, broken and paper peeled. I've also found that fluorescent colors have more of a "pop" with the finished art work.
