Crayon Rubbings

Crayon rubbings are so much fun because it almost feels like the image “magically” appears.  It is a great way to use those broken crayons and is a great tactile sensory activity for those little ones who crave tactile exploration.

What you will need:

  • Paper
  • Crayons (preferably with paper removed)
  • Leaves or other items with fun textures

 

Instructions:

Place a piece of paper on top of leaves or a surface with a great texture.  Construction paper will be too thick so chose a thinner paper like ordinary printer paper or even notebook paper.  Remove the paper from the crayon if it is still on there.  Turn the crayon sideways and gently rub.

Variations:

  • Tree trunks offer nice textures
  • House siding
  • Concrete
  • Weeds
  • Money
  • Paper clips
  • Patio furniture (see pic below)
