"Secret Messages"
In our morning activity the children were all wondering why there were candles and pencil crayons at the painting table.
The Educator sat down with the children and invited them to explore an idea on what you could do with candles and Art materials such as paint!
Here's what they did:
Starting with a blank piece of paper; take your candle and start drawing or writing a secret message. But it's invisible; so you won't see it until you do the next step. Choose your color, and using a paintbrush; paint over the surface of the paper. Watch what happens with the paint: your secret message would be revealed!
Curious about why this happens? Try it out! (This also works great with white crayons too if you don't have access to candles)
