Did you know you can write secret messages without fancy invisible ink pens or old-fashioned lemon juice? All you need for this easy, fun craft is a white crayon, watercolor paint, a paintbrush, and some white card stock. Here’s how to write and reveal secret messages:
First, use a white crayon to write a secret message or draw a simple picture on white card stock. (Hint: Have plenty of good lighting to make it easier to see what you are writing. Older kids can try it out by themselves, while younger children may need help with this step.)
Then, use watercolor paints to paint over the secret message. The colors will reveal the words or designs in white crayon. When children are finished painting, they will have a beautiful work of art to share or show.
That’s all there is to it!
