Grab a piece of watercolor paper and cut in half. We originally used the entire piece of paper, however I think they are too large for kids. Cut the watercolor paper into smaller pieces; in half or quarters.
There are two methods you can use for the watercolor crayon resist art; the first is using white crayons. The white crayon is magic for the kids in a sense when their artwork comes to life after they watercolor over their white crayon picture. The second technique is to use regular crayons. Have your kids draw a picture using crayons on their watercolor paper. Pro Tip! Explain that every area covered in crayon will "resist" the watercolor paints.
Using watercolor paint, paint over the crayon drawing on your paper.
Let the watercolor paintings dry then have your kids hang up their piece of art.
