Using oil pastels on top of watercolor paper and then covering the entire paper with tempera paint and soap made a scratchboard. Really coat it thick and expect to do several layers. I thought this was very fun and interesting. Kids would enjoy the concept of zentangle and the fact that it was colored would get them excited as well. I feel that this could be pretty much done with any age level, but I see 2nd and 3rd graders enjoying it the most probably. With 1st graders I would give them a smaller square of paper to work with, and with older students go with a larger piece. It was very messy, so If your doing it with younger grades in particular expect to vacuum at the end of the day.
