Magic drawings

"Magic" picture created with wax crayon and food coloring.

When my children were much smaller and were fretful due to being inside in rainy weather or just needing a little fun, I would do "magic" pictures with them.

Take a piece of white paper and using a white wax crayon draw a simple outline picture of anything - a ball, tree, cloud, house, dog etc.

Then let your preschooler color wash over it with water color paint or food coloring in water.

The picture "magically" appears!
