Book Cover Craft

Wren’s class made these great artworks with watercolours and crayons to cover their school books.

First they painted a yellow wash with watercolours and left it to dry.

The next day, they drew a design in pencil and went over it with red and orange crayons.

Then the artwork and the school books came home to me and I covered them and wrote each child’s name onto the cover with a black permanent marker.

The children were very proud of their creative work, and being able to use the results in a tangible way has been great for their self esteem.
