Need: Green
Construction Paper, Green crayons or oil pastels, White tempera paint,
Paintbrushes
Directions: Draw a
design or picture on the green construction paper using green
crayon. (This can get a bit tricky because its sometimes hard to see what
it is you are drawing.) Just do some fun designs. Press hard with the
crayon so its nice and thick. When the picture is drawn, brush some white
tempera paint (not too thick)
over the paper. Like magic, lines will appear from out of nowhere!
