5 to 7 years

The word "frottage" translates from French as "rubbing" . Figures in this technique obtain original and have the reliefe. To make a picture, put a piece of paper on any textured surface, and then rub it with wax crayons or a sharp pencil. As a result, you'll get a print imitating the basic texture. Frottage rubbings can be done on surfaces all around your house. For example, a comb, a sole of your shoes, various plastic packaging, cutting boards, a lace, a wallpaper.

Or buy in a special shop relief plates with different designs and patterns.
This technique can used for coloring ready-to-make coloring pages. 
You can also make frottage applications. Just rub a piece of paper with a certain color, and then cut out the necessary details and glue them to the sheet of paper.

Frottage applications are original, bright and unusual.
