All of our kids had a great time working on this craft ~ especially Kaleb. Actually, Kaleb had way too much fun. By fun, I mean that Kaleb was painting his face with the white-out brush, painting the table, took a lick of white-out, and then dropped it on the floor. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get white-out off my wood floor.
BUT the end result was much better than the actual process, so maybe MY misfortune can help you all find a better process. :)
The project is actually two layers ~ a transparency sheet lays over top of a picture that your child has colored. Then you add ‘snow’ to the picture by painting on the transparency layer.
What You’ll Need:
- a jar of white-out
- white paper
- clear tape
- colored pencils
- transparency sheets
- scissors or paper cutter
How to Make Your Snow Scene:
Our pictures were a half sheet of paper {5 1/2” x 8 1/2”}.
- Cut your sheet of paper and overhead transparency sheet in half so that they are the above size. You can use a full sheet if you want to also.
- Tape the transparency sheet to the top of the paper on one of the sides, so that you can open it like a book.
- Have your child color a scene/picture on the paper using colored pencils or crayons.
- Flip the transparency over top of the picture and let your child add snow to the picture scene.
Here is how Zachary’s picture looked with and without his snow.
