Sandpaper Art

First you use a crayon to color a pattern or image on a piece of sandpaper.  One of the things you have to make sure to do is to press hard as you layer the crayons on to the sandpaper.  This will help the image transfer easily.  Once you have completed your image you have to lay the sandpaper down with a piece of white paper over it and then press a iron over the top of both of the pages.  The image from the sandpaper will then be transferred to the white paper.  Once you have done one print you can do another print by recoloring over the image.

Extension Activity:
Create an image just using shapes and then have the children explain which shapes they used.  This will help the children remember the names of the different shapes.
