Easter Cross Watercolor Craft

Supplies You'll Need:

White construction paper (9" x 12")

Painter's tape

Black crayons

Watercolor paint

Paint brushes

Provide each student with a piece of white construction paper and a length of painter's tape. Have them tear the tape so one length is shorter than the other and place both pieces of tape on the paper to create a cross.

Next, in the bottom right hand corner of the page have your students write "Jesus is Alive!" in crayon (we would recommend a black crayon so it shows up well against the watercolor paint).

Then instruct them to paint the entire page using watercolor paint. Allow them to be creative! As long as the entire page is painted, they can choose whatever design they'd like.
