Big Brother got a kick out of making this card! The real surprise came once he began painting it!
Here’s what you’ll need: white cardstock, a white crayon, a paintbrush, and some paint.
 |
| 1. Using a white crayon, write a “secret message” on the cardstock. I didn’t make mine as “thick” as I should have, so it didn’t show up as well. Make thick lines and press down hard when writing. |
 |
| 2. Let your little one draw on it as well. This was really frustrating for Big Brother because he couldn’t see what he was drawing! |
 |
| 3. Add some paint (we used tempera paint). |
 |
| 4. Blot excess until you see the images suddenly appear! It’s MAGIC! ;) |
 |
| See? |
 |
| All done! |

I love reading this short board book to my babies, especially since every page gives me an excuse to hug them! “Mommy monkey hugs her baby with a tickle…” is our favorite! Equally as wonderful is the companion book,
