Home Made Scratch Art Paper!

Make your own scratch art paper! It's fun, easy and cheaper than buying it. It's a great project for those kids that say "I'm done. What can I do now?"


What you need:

• tag board or card stock
• crayons
• tempera/poster paint
• liquid soap
• toothpicks or other scratching tools

What to do:

• Color the paper with crayons. You can use one color, multiple colors or even create an image. The paper must be completely covered in crayon. Any spots not covered will not scratch off. So use a thick heavy coat of crayon for best results.
• Mix paint poster/tempera paint with a few drops of liquid soap.
• Paint over the crayon. *Do not water down like some people tell you to or you will need a lot of coats just to cover the crayon.
• Once dry use a toothpick to create an image.
