During outdoor time, provide paper and remnants of crayons with the paper wrappers removed. Encourage the children to explore texture in art by creating rubbings. The children place a textured item under the paper and slide the side of the crayon remnant back and forth to reveal the texture details. The children could explore the texture of tree bark, leaves, cement, the side of a basket and wood grain.
