Brass rubbing

Hey kiddo, do you know what metal is? It's a strong and shiny substance that we can make things out of like toys or jewelry.

Well, brass is a type of metal that is made by mixing copper and zinc together. And you know what's really cool? Some people like to make pictures of things like knights and dragons on brass plates by pressing paper against the plate and drawing over it with a special black wax crayon.

This is called brass rubbing, and it's a fun way to make art that looks like it was from a long time ago. You can even see the details of the armor or the scales of the dragon!

Afterwards, you might want to color in your picture with crayons or markers to make it even more colorful. It's a really fun way to make art and learn about history at the same time!
