Yay! It is holiday time again. If you are looking for something cool to do – try this out. It’s really easy and lots of fun. Plus for once you can do it on your own and you don’t need parental agents to supervise anything.
All you need are: wax crayons, paper and a toothpick.
Start out small first just to see how it works and then work your way up to doing something bigger.
Fold a piece of A4 paper into half and then into half again so you have four little sections. (You can even cut along the folded lines so that you have four pieces of paper.) If you don’t have any paper you can always use the back of a used envelope or something similar.
Draw up a pattern in the middle of one of your bits of paper. You could draw a diamond within a diamond within a diamond or use circles or squares or flowers or anything you fancy.
Then colour-in the different sections in using nice bright wax colours. Make sure you colour in the whole section of paper. (Have a look at the picture provided.)
When you have finished, grab the black crayon and colour over your already coloured in pattern.
No! Don’t worry – I have not gone mad – it’s part of the process.
Once you have a nice big black blob your sneaky canvas is ready…
Use your toothpick, to doodle little pattern. Or draw a picture… or even better you could draw an Easter egg and decorate it with doodles.
Then you could cut that out and stick it on another piece of paper or cardboard to make a pretty Easter egg card for your parental agents or somebody else. You could even email a picture to me and I’d put it on my website. I always love hearing from people.
Remember – the 7th April is also World Health Day. I don’t know about you but I hate being sick – so it’s important to stay healthy. It’s not hard if you get enough exercise, plenty of sleep and you can always nibble on fruit, raisins or carrot sticks instead of sweets and chips if you are looking for a more healthy option for snacks.
Happy holiday’s people!
