Ingredients

  • Paper plate
  • White crayon
  • Watercolor paints
  • Paint brush

Instructions

  • Draw Your Design: Take your white crayon and draw a picture of the Earth, or maybe some trees, animals, or words like "Save Our Planet" on the paper plate. You can also trace your hand and draw hearts The white crayon might be hard to see, but that’s part of the fun!
  • Paint Over the Crayon: Now, get your watercolor paints ready. Use shades of green and blue paint only to ensure that your paper plate looks like the planet earth. Use a wet paintbrush to paint over the entire paper plate where you drew your design. Watch as the areas where you drew with the crayon resist the paint and your drawing comes to life!
  • Let It Dry: Set your plate aside to dry. Make sure it's completely dry before you touch it again, so you don’t smudge your beautiful artwork.
  • Display Your Craft: Once dry, you can hang your paper plate up as a decoration for Earth Day or show it off to your friends and family.
