Etchings 
Supplies: Crayons
Stiff White Paper
Black Ink
Paint Brush
Nail or Nail File

 

Using light colored crayons, fill a stiff white paper with patches and stripes.  Color the patches and stripes with black crayon or brush over with black ink, making sure to cover the colors completely.  With a nail, nail file or other pointed object, draw a picture by scraping off the black ink or crayon.  Your drawing will be colored with the light colors of the first layer of crayon.

 


Styrofoam Sailboat 
Supplies: Styrofoam
Tooth Picks
Tissue Paper

 

Cut Styrofoam into thin rectangles (we suggest 1/4" to 1/2" in width).  Cut tissue paper into squares and triangles.  Put tooth pick through tissue paper to form a sail.  Insert into Styrofoam to make sailboat.  Create your own regatta!

Tip for inserting the Sail: Fold sail gently in half, hold on top of Styrofoam, put sharp end of toothpick on sail and push down into Styrofoam.
