Materials: 

crayons, paper, music

Directions:

Hold a crayon in each hand.  Put on some music, and let the crayons "dance” on the paper.

Adaptations:

You can do a similar activity with a small group of children.  Put a large sheet of butcher paper on the floor.  Have children lay on their tummies and dance magic markers on the paper.  Play different styles of music and have children describe how the music makes their crayons "dance” in different ways.
