A story + Art = a great stART!!!
I gently taped a sandpaper "x" underneath the paper... so it would appear when they colored over it... I have also done similar projects with a white crayon for the mystery picture... and watercolor paints...I recently saw another alphabet sandpaper rubbing on Totally Tots...
This week we read alphabet mystery... so so so cute!!! This is about the lower case (little) letters.... but one is missing... (little x).... the rest of the alphabet is off on an adventure in attempt to find him... I am not going to give the story away... but... being a children's book... you could probably guess whether or not they locate him... ;-)
