Oil Patsel and Crayon resist: Under the Sea

For this project we were able to create our very own HUGE aquarium! This fun project is meant for kindergarteners. We started out by picking the pictures, designs that were already cut for us, we wanted to use for the aquarium. After we picked our pictures, we traced them on a piece of paper using either a crayon or oil pastels. Then we decorated our pictures with various designs using either crayons or oil pastels.

After we were finished coloring with the crayons or oil pastels, we took water colors and painted over the top of the crayons or oil pastels with the complimentary color. Once the paint was dry, we cut out the pieces, and our teacher then organized them in the aquarium for us.
This is such a fun project, and could be used to create many different scenes. You could create a farm scene with animals using the same technique; even a safari scene could be created or any other scene with animals. Throughout the school year, you could create various scenes to constantly change the theme throughout the room.
