Continuing with our summer theme, we worked with colored sidewalk chalk. Our first creation started with a sheet of white cardstock and drawing with chalk in at least two colors and all over the paper. I had the kids take turns and trade the pieces of chalk, as to encourage speech and socialization skills. Then, we took turns spritzing our papers with a spray bottle filled with water. The chalk simulated a watercolor effect.
Our second piece of art started with black construction paper. We always start each new paper by writing our name on the back. This is difficult with our paper choice today, so we wrote on white paper, cut it out, and glued it to the back. Our routine is still in tact, phew. I passed out small cups filled with water and then the chalk pieces. This time we dipped the chalk into the water and then drew on our paper. This made the colors more vibrant and saturated. While the paper was still wet we drizzled glue and sprinkled glitter.
