To show how the waxy crayons repel from water, we decided to let the kids experience this interesting interaction first hand. With the suggested theme of jellyfish and the ocean, we directed the students to first draw, with crayons, the underwater creatures and plantlike, and after paint over it with watercolor. It was really cool to see how amazed the kids were when they painted over the crayon drawing and the watercolor moved away!
We saw some really awesome drawings of fish, sharks, and shellfish, and the kids who finished extra early took the time to accent their paintings with neon paint, creating an even more exciting picture!
