Let the children have fun creating pictures with magic rubbings.
Resources
Thick card or board embossed, wallpaper, paper, thick wax, crayons, freezer clips
Step by step
* Collect a variety of embossed wallpaper samples. You can get these from certain DIY stores. Alternatively ask the parents if they have any leftover pieces of embossed wallpaper at home.
* When you have all the resources, glue the embossed wallpaper on the card.
* Place a sheet of paper on top.
* Place the crayon in a freezer clip. (This helps little fingers to grip the crayon more easily).
* Rub gently until a pattern appears.
