How do you make a magic slate?

Answer 1

== * Tempera paint * Tablespoon * Large, durable zip-close bag * Masking tape * White paper (8.5x11) * Drawing tool, like a ice pop stick or finger

1 Choose a dark thick color of tempera paint.

2 Place 3 tablespoons of the tempera paint into your zip-close bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can and then zip the bag shut.

3 Position a white piece of paper, a little smaller than your bag, on a flat surface.

4 Place the paint-filled zip-close bag on top of the white sheet of paper. Tape the sides of the bag to the surface of the paper with masking tape.

5 Use your hand to smooth the paint into a thin layer in the bag and across the white paper. You now have a homemade magic slate.

6 Use a blunt drawing tool, like a finger or an ice pop stick, to draw on your homemade magic slate. Your drawing will appear as you displace the dark paint and reveal the white paper.

7 Rub your hands over the zip lock bag to wipe away your drawings and start fresh.
