Sing-Along Scenes

Music inspires creativity. Play or sing a favorite song while children draw a scene to illustrate what they hear.

1. Pick a song you know well and that brings to mind a picture, such as "Old MacDonald" or "Row, Row." Sing along with a recording or sing by yourself from memory.

2. Sketch pictures of things you heard about in the song with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils on white paper.

3. Repeat the song several times. Add objects to your drawing that you think should be there. For example, Old MacDonald's farm probably had a barn, although it's not mentioned in the song.

4. Add details to your drawing with Crayola Washable Markers and Washable Crayons.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
