CRAYON ETCHING
(SCRATCH ART)   
 
Written by: Andrea Mulder-Slatert [Andrea

Grade: K-8

Age: 5-14

Activity Summary:
Students can use crayons to make a unique work
of scratch art.

Objectives:
Younger students will enjoy exploring with this activity while older students should be encouraged to
investigate detailed images and patterns.

What You Need:

 Paper (bristol board [poster board] works best)


 Crayons
 Popsicle stick or nail
 Optional: black India ink

What You Do:


1. Fill the paper with crayon shapes and patterns making sure to press hard. It is best to use
light colors at this stage.
2. Once you have filled the paper with crayons patterns, color heavily over the whole paper
using black crayon.
3. Plan out a picture or design and using the popsicle stick or paper clip, scratch the design into
the black crayon. The light colors will show through where you scrape away the black.
4. Polish the picture by rubbing wax paper on it -- to give it a shine. You can also use a
chamois cloth or even a plastic bag.

Optional: Instead of rubbing black crayon overtop of the colored crayon, you can paint black India
ink over the colored crayon, let it dry and scratch into the ink - revealing the colors below.
