If you are looking for something cool to do – try this out.
It’s really easy and lots of fun.
Plus for once you can do it on your own and you don’t need parental agents to supervise anything.
All you need are some wax crayons, paper and a toothpick.
Start out small first, just to see how it works, and then work your way up to doing something bigger.
Fold a piece of A4 paper in half and then in half again so you have four little sections.
You can even cut along the folded lines so that you have four pieces of paper.
If you don’t have any paper you can always use the back of an envelope or something similar.
Draw a pattern in the middle of one of your bits of paper.
You could draw a diamond within a diamond within a diamond or use circles or squares or flowers or anything you fancy.
Then colour in the different sections using nice bright wax colours.
Make sure you colour in the whole section of paper.
Have a look at the picture provided.
When you have finished, grab the black crayon and colour over your already coloured-in pattern.
No! Don’t worry – I have not gone mad – it’s part of the process.
Once you have a nice big black blob your sneaky canvas is ready…
Use your toothpick to doodle a little pattern.
Or draw a picture… or even better you could draw an Easter egg and decorate it with doodles.
Then you can cut that out and stick it on another piece of paper or cardboard to make a pretty Easter egg card for your parental agents or somebody else.
You could even email a picture to me and I’ll put it on my website – sibo@sibo.co.za
I always love hearing from people.
Remember today (Friday) is also World Health Day.
I don’t know about you, but I hate being sick – so it’s important to stay healthy.
It’s not hard if you get enough exercise and plenty of sleep, and you can always nibble on fruit, raisins or carrot sticks instead of sweets and chips if you are looking for a more healthy option for snacks.
Happy holiday’s, people!
