Egg Carton Drawing!
Here's
a fun way to color with crayons! Take an empty Styrofoam
egg carton and turn it upside down, on some white paper.
Cut some small slits in the egg pockets only about 1/2
inch long. Then push some crayons into the slits so that
they hit the paper underneath. (see photo) Now
move the crayons around while they are still being held
up in the egg carton. (be sure that you push down so
that the crayon tip is still on the paper) You can go
around in circles or any direction you want. Do that
with each crayon as much as you want and then lift up
the whole thing, carton with crayons, and see your
surprise drawing underneath on the paper! Nice job! Now
remove the crayons from the slits and put in some
different colors and do it again!!
Supplies
Needed:

Tips/Suggestions:
- Let your toddler help with putting the crayons into
the slits/holes
- While your toddler is moving one crayon, talk about
the color
- Help your toddler move the crayon in a circle to show
her what it is.
