My kids and I have been drawing with crayons a lot these past couple of weeks and I was surprised by just how fun they are for colour mixing and layering, and the waxy smell takes me straight back to childhood.
Today was my day being “isolation daddy teacher helper guy” helping them with the work they’ve been set from school. There was an optional colouring activity in there so I POUNCED and decided it was time for a FULL ON COLOUR THEORY intensive activity time. I made these activity sheets and we worked through the first three in half an hour or so, they learned a lot and we had a great time. The fourth sheet is more advanced and I didn’t want to push my luck…
The crazy colourful images are from our first crayon play session that sparked the whole thing off. They were really interested in how I got the colours to layer and mix. Now they know and I can’t wait to see what they make!
