In my last blog post, I reviewed the book Old Tracks, New Tricks
The book itself is good for up to about 1st or 2nd grade, in my opinion. The kids at my school saw me drawing this train track picture and some of the 3rd graders wanted to try it. I’m thinking 1st through 3rd grade might be best for this art project. I will test it with the Kindergartners and let you know if they are able to do it.
The steps are simple and fun! Lay the train tracks one at a time on to your paper. Trace lightly with pencil.
Continue connecting and tracing train tracks on top of the ones you’ve already drawn.
Outline with a thin Sharpie or pen.
Use crayons, colored pencils or markers to color in your designs.
Materials I used include:
- Sharpie Permanent Markers, Ultra Fine Point, Black
- Kwik Stix Solid Tempera Paint
- Washable Broad Line Markers
- Crayola 24 Ct Twistables
- Jumbo Colored Pencils
