Blind Flowers

In class we did a blind drawing of flowers. We poked a hole through a index card and used a white crayon to draw three flowers. We were given pictures of real flowers to use a reference and to make each flower different from the next. We then wet down the paper using a paint brush and water. With warm and cool colors we painted over the flowers and they appeared through the paint!

An extension activity would be to use the same concept in spelling. I would use smaller paper, and write the students spelling words on the paper. Then the student would spell the word either on a note book piece of paper or out loud. Once they spell the word, they would use paint and paint over the word to see if they spelt it write.
