I was just thinking about trying it with my 2 1/2 year old. I'm sure I can at least get him to tear the paper! I, too, used to do this project as a kid.

The colors blend really nicely and give a gentle sfumato effect. Good stuff! :) Actually, I do exactly this project with my Art 1 students using oil pastels.

So glad you reminded me. Not only does it bring back fond memories, but it gives me an idea to fill up an afternoon or two of these long winter days with the kids.

I have always loved chalk pastels - they seem like a decadent art supply to me. The kids love them, too - especially my daughter. I'm going to try this with her. I recently purchased a set of pastels for her, and this will be a perfect thing to do with them! :) Great job, Heather! I love this!
