Cupcake Paintings( SWEET ART) First grade lesson

We have had so many snow days that I don't have a lot of new projects to post.  We are just finishing up things we started in January! This 1st grade cupcake crayon resist I came up with was a lot of fun. The kids absolutely loved deciding what kind of frosting and decorations to put on their cupcakes.

First they traced the cupcake paper cup onto
12" x 12" white drawing paper. I made very large tracers to get them started on filling the paper.

 

 

Next step was to add to curved lines above the cup and then add the frosting and decorations on top.  They drew with pencil and then colored with crayons.

 

 

After everything was colored we painted watercolors over our crayon for crayon resist technique and then they used a smaller pointed brush to add a pattern in the background. They did a great job and we all wished we could taste the delicious cupcakes they were painting!
