One afternoon we made transparent drawings, an activity in the wonderful resource Preschool Art by Mary Ann Kohl. The girls drew and colored pictures with crayons, pressing hard.
Then they used a cotton ball to apply a coat of vegetable oil to the back of the paper.
We dried the papers overnight on a piece of newspaper. Now lots of light shines through the paper.
