A couple pencils (with erasers!)

Crumpled Paper Art
Materials Needed:
White construction paper
Watercolor Paint
Paintbrush
Scissors
Instructions:
Cut your white construction paper into smaller pieces.
Take one piece of your cut construction paper and crumple it up into a ball.
Choose one color and use it to paint all around the outside of your ball.
Gently unfold it, and see how it looks. Press it down gently.
Crumple it up again, and paint it with another color.
Gently unfold it and press it down.
You can stop after two colors, but you can continue this process with a third color if you like.
