Resist paintings

Modified from http://kiddley.com/2006/11/17/wax-resist-painting/ and http://whipup.net/2006/10/07/resist-painting/

Materials:

• Paper
• White crayon or white candle stick
• Coloured paints (watercolour or dilute poster paints) or water based markers (like Mr. Sketch)
• Jar of water (for paint)
• Brushes (for paint)

Instructions:

• Use the white crayon or candle to draw a picture the paper
• Paint (or marker) over the design to reveal it! It's magic!

(The same principles can be applied when colouring Easter eggs.)
