Supplies
Crayons without wrapping
Printer Paper
Relatively Flat objects (leaves, legos, coins, etc)
Steps
1. Gather Objects (leaves, coins, legos, bottoms of shoes)
2. Take wrapping off of 2-3 crayons
3. Place an object under the paper and color over it using the whole side of the crayon, not the
point or the end
4. Make 4-5 rubbings on the same paper
Adaptions
Use one object
Extensions
Draw into foam plates and make rubbings of them by placing them under your paper
Go on a texture scavenger hunt, or create crayon rubbings then see who can guess what they
were made from
Homework
Use rubbings to create texture for one of your drawings (scales or bumps for dragons, bottom
of a shoe)
Crayon
Rubbings
Tips
The bottom of a shoe is hard for younger kids because the paper moves around, you may have
to hold it for them
Melissa and Doug sell crayons that are unwrapped, they are not as bright as Crayola crayons but
they work if you use the darker ones
