Pinterest Challenge #39 - Hidden Words

When you purchase a big box of crayons, what is the least used one in the box?  The white one!  Well here's something fun to do with those white crayons.  Pinterest linked blogger No Time for Flash Cards did alphabet ones for her toddler.  We decided to do a more preschool friendly version and make these 'Hidden Words'.  Here's what you do:

1.  On a white piece of paper, write a word in white crayon.  I went over the lines several times so the words would stand out more.
2.  Mix washable paint with water (I used a 25% paint, 75% water ratio).

3.  Get a paint brush, and let your child paint.

She had a great time exposing each word with the paint.  We let them dry and used them the next few days for reading practice.
