Did you know that chalk pastels could be used for THIS?
Here’s a surprising way you can use your chalk pastels. * Use a plastic or butter knife to scrape chalk pastels until you have piles of colored dust * Fill up a shallow tub with water * Sprinkle chalk dust on the top * Place a piece of cardstock or mixed-media paper on top of the water and pat * Pull off and 😍 your paper! Make sure to set that paper aside to dry when finished! Use this paper for collage or as a beautiful background. Or just have fun with a process art day! Have you ever made chalk dust paper before? #homeschoolart #artcurriculum #glitterbombers #processart #prekart #preschoolart #artfunwithkids #homeschooling #craftsforkids #artsandcrafts #elementaryart #prekteacher

Claude Monet spent hundreds of hours standing outside by his pond in Giverny, France, painting all of its beauty.
