We have used small pasteboard squares.
1. The kids color the pasteboard with a variety of colors but no black
pressing hard
2. Cover over the crayon with black oil pastel
3. Use a paper clip to scratch off the black
My elementary kids love this, because they can erase and reuse it several
times (by smearing the oil pastel)

I remember doing this type of project in school as a kid, and loving it.
Do you think this might work if I use recycled cardboard? I have lots that
is like cereal box cardboard but white on one side and clean.
