Secret Drawings - Disegni segreti
Hi everyone!
Today we have for you one of my favorite activities, secret drawings! This is a great way to explain how wax creates a barrier between the paper and the water...color.
My big kid can read now so we do secret messages too, but she still likes the drawings better.
For this craft you will need:
Thick paper
A crayon that is the same color as your paper (we used white and yellow)
Watercolors OR colored salt
First choose a paper and the corresponding crayon.
Draw/write whatever it is you want to be revealed. Make sure you are pressing hard and passing over it a few times to really get that wax on there.
Hand it off and let the other person and let them paint it and your secret shall be revealed!
To reveal the secret with the colored salt, the steps are the same as with a regular colored salt painting: wet the paper, cover it in colored salt, add water using a straw or a dropper, let it dry, and shake it off!
HAVE FUN!
Ciao a tutti!
Today we have for you one of my favorite activities, secret drawings! This is a great way to explain how wax creates a barrier between the paper and the water...color.
Oggi abbiamo per voi uno dei miei lavoretti preferiti, disegni segreti! È un modo divertentissimo per spiegare ai bambini che la cera crea una barriera tra la carta e l'acqu..erello.
My big kid can read now so we do secret messages too, but she still likes the drawings better.
La mia grande sa leggere adesso quindi ci scriviamo anche dei messaggi segreti ma i disegni sono sempre divertente.
For this craft you will need:
Thick paper
A crayon that is the same color as your paper (we used white and yellow)
Watercolors OR colored salt
Per questo laboratorio vi serviranno:
Carta spessa
Un colore a cera dello stesso colore della carta (noi abbiamo usato bianco e giallo)
Acquerelli OPPURE sale colorato
First choose a paper and the corresponding crayon.
Prima di tutto scegliete un foglio e il colore a cera corrispondente.
Draw/write whatever it is you want to be revealed. Make sure you are pressing hard and passing over it a few times to really get that wax on there.
Disegnate/scrivete quello che volete far rivelare. Assicuratevi di spingere forte e ripassatelo più volte per assicurarsi di lasciarci un bel segno di cera.
Hand it off and let the other person and let them paint it and your secret shall be revealed!
Scambiatevi i fogli e lasciate che l'altra persona dipinga il foglio e riveli il vostro segreto!
To reveal the secret with the colored salt, the steps are the same as with a regular colored salt painting: wet the paper, cover it in colored salt, add water using a straw or a dropper, let it dry, and shake it off!
Per rivelare il disegno segreto con il sale colorato, seguite le stesse istruzioni per un dipinto con sale colorato normale: bagnate il foglio, ricopritelo di sale, aggiungete l'acqua con una cannuccia o un dosatore, lasciate che si asciughi bene, sgrullate!
HAVE FUN!
I love your blog posts. They are so much fun. I look forward to the next one.
