Sctratch Art (Mother's Day Cards)

For this project we used crayons to coat a piece of card stock, front and back, but not the middle. With the crayon facing up we taped the card down on another piece of paper and painted a mixture of black tempera paint and detergent over the top of the crayon. We then traced over pictures that we had originally drawn onto the card revealing the crayon coating underneath. We created a mother's day card using this fun technique placing a message on the inside of the card.

Extension Activity
Students could draw their favorite animal on the scratch pad and then write a story about their animal.
