Make It Your Own:
Is your white chalk not “popping” from the black paper like you want it to? No worries! If you run into this problem, you can set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. Repeat, over and over, again and let the construction paper dry completely before adhering the paper pieces.
What if you don’t have a printer to take advantage of today’s freebie? No worries! You can always hand-draw something on paper and go from there. This will really open up those creative juices and I highly encourage it!
