pretend play



Today Paloma and I were playing school, and I was "pretending" to be an art teacher (ha!).  We created a crayon resist - first by grating crayons into little shavings, then sprinkling the shavings onto a piece of watercolor paper.  After covering the paper and shavings with a piece of wax paper, I ironed the paper to  melt the crayons, then Paloma used watercolors to paint.  The wax from the crayons resisted the watercolors, and created some beautiful effects!  Pre-school art is so much fun - it's all about the process.
