Crayon resist project for kids

Crayon resist watercolor flowers painting

Crayon resist watercolor technique is one of the most easiest water projects for kids.  It is like a magic when the crayon resists the paint and pops up.  We transferred the flower design from our laundry basket to the paper and made crayon resist.

It is a very simple painting activity. My preschooler needed help in rubbing but eight year old did it by herself.

We could not stop with one. We made few of them. The design looked like butterflies too.
