Notes: If you use a brush, make sure to wash with warm water and dish soap when finished.

You can tint the glue with a little bit of paint so your child can see where the glue is on the

paper.

Patterned paper can be found at the Dollar Store or craft store. You can even use wrapping

paper you have at home.

For extra fun, cut the paper from the crayon rubbing activity!
