Wax resist spelling

It's nice to combine art with drier areas of the school day.
I like to do wax resist with white wax crayons and watercolour paint to do spelling words. It really facilitates the children's visualising a word before they write as well as their handwriting.
They need to grab a white piece of paper, write their word with white candles and then paint over with watercolour to reveal their words. It's quite a cool little magic trick younger years just love!
