What are crayon rubbings?

Crayon rubbings are an artistic technique where a crayon is used to create an impression of a textured surface. By placing a piece of paper over an object, such as leaves, coins, or textured fabrics, and rubbing the side of a crayon over the paper, the texture of the object is transferred onto the paper. This method is often used in educational settings to explore textures and patterns, and it can result in colorful and unique artworks. Crayon rubbings are simple to create and can be a fun way to engage with the environment.
