Kindergarten Turkeys

     In this lesson, kindergartners created crayon resist turkeys, using oil pastels and watercolor paints.  First, students drew a turkey with pencil, and traced it with a white oil pastel.  Watercolor paints were then used to paint in the different parts of the turkey.  A trick I use with the students, when using watercolor paints, is to first make a "puddle" of water on top of their paint, then "tickle" the paint with their brush.  This will give you the correct amount of paint on your brush.  All the kids need to do, is remember 2 words...  puddle & tickle.
