We are learning to recognize the letter Hh.
Luckily, our Stephanie cleaned out her art supplies and donated these oil pastels to my cabinet. I love having these around for one purpose: oil pastel resist.
Hh is for
hands! ♥
This project can be completed using crayons, also. Oil pastels are so soft that they are easy to apply heavily, making the actual "resist" more visible. I traced the kids' hands onto their papers.
They each chose a color to fill in their hands with.
Aiden is so funny- he uses any excuse to recognize "beige" because I was so surprised that he had knowledge of that odd color over summer break.
It is important to press hard when coloring for a resist painting.
When the coloring is complete, paint gently with watercolors over the top of the drawing. Like magic, the colored part pops through! The kids love this.
Aiden was trying to beat the beige by painting over and over and over. Beige wins!
These are so colorful, it was a beautiful project and a fun way to remember the letter Hh.
Nice job!
Meanwhile, Chloe won't let a giant popcorn tin stop her from squeezing in there.. and she is actually smiling! Happy Thursday!♥♥♥
