Scratch Art





I found out how to make homemade scratch art and thought it would be a good project for the boys. First, you color all over a sheet of paper. Then you paint the paper with a mixture of black tempera paint and dish soap (about two tablespoons paint and 1/4 teaspoon soap). You let the paint dry and then scratch the paint to make a new picture. I colored my own picture the night before to give the boys an idea of what they needed to do. My sweet husband says that I need counseling because of the picture I colored and the amount of time I spent on it.
