This weeks unplugged theme is WRINKLE. I thought about doing some batik but it sounded way too complicated for 10 AM this morning! So we looked through THE USBORNE COMPLETE BOOK OF ART IDEAS and picked the Cracked Wax Effect.
First we got out our wax crayons and did some coloring. We tried to cover the entire papaer with crayon.
Then we wrinkled our paper up really good!!!
Then we smoothed out our paper and painted over them with poster paints. Be sure to fill in all the cracks with paint.
Then we quickly rinsed off our paint!
And left them to dry between newspaper.
looks fun!
that is awesome! We’ll have to give it a try. I don’t do much art with the kids anymore since it’s just Thomas and me.
But maybe he would like this.
I like this one. It looks easy and really fun for the kids to do.
We tried it out today. Here’s our very messy story.

Very cool effect!
Love the cracked wax effect. Looks really cool. My 4 year old son loves to draw and do crayons. You can bet we will do this in the very near future. Once again thanks for the great idea and cool pics showing the results.
