Secret Friendship Skill: Writing in Invisible Ink

It’s Alex Tiger here. I’m not the biggest talker in the ‘Kinz Crew, so I came up with this cool idea to communicate secret information to my friends – and I never even have to open my mouth!

All it takes is a white candle or a white crayon and white piece of paper. To read your message, your friends will need watercolor paint and a paintbrush.

Take your white candle and with the bottom of the candle (or the crayon), write your message on the piece of paper. Try to keep track of where you have written so your letters don’t run into each other!

You now have a message written in invisible ink that you can pass along to your friends. To everyone else, it will just look like a blank sheet of paper, but you can let your friends know (maybe with your new secret handshake!) that there is a message awaiting them.

To read the note, your friends will need to paint over the page with a coat of watercolor paint. The paint will adhere to the paper but not the wax. Just like magic your writing will appear in white against the paint.

Now I can be as quiet as I want and still let my friends know what I’m thinking!

    This also works great for making designs on Easter eggs! :) (using a crayon, not lemon juice, lol!)

    Wow that is a neat idea. Another way you can do this is use a cotton swab to write a message with lemon juice and put it near heat. That is harder but you don’t have to carry paint around with you!
