Looking for a fuss-free craft to entertain your little ones? Dive into the world of scratch art right at home! All you need are some basic supplies: construction paper, crayons, black craft paint, toothpicks, and a paintbrush.

Start by covering a piece of construction paper with bright, vibrant crayon colors. Encourage your child to get creative, experimenting with different patterns and designs. Once the paper is covered, paint over the entire surface with black craft paint.

After the paint dries, it’s time for the magic! Using a toothpick, gently scratch away the paint to reveal the colorful masterpiece underneath. Watch as your child’s imagination comes to life with each scratch!

Simple, affordable, and endlessly entertaining, scratch art is the perfect activity for sparking creativity and artistic expression at home.
