First, measure the surface area of your bone or ivory where you'll draw your image. Then, scan your design to a computer or find an image of it online. Finally, shrink it down so that it's slightly smaller than the surface area of your ivory. For best results, shrink the image so that there's about 12 inch (1.3cm) of extra space on all sides. You will want a small detailed drawing to use as your scrimshaw design. A sketch-like image with good outlines and some shadowing is best for scrimshaw. This is technically not required, since you could also draw your design by hand. However, unless you're experienced in this kind of art, it's much harder to make precise outlines on such a small surface by hand. You'll have to copy your image to a sheet of paper if you weren't able to find a digital version of your design. In either case, have a copy of your design on a sheet of paper that you can place overtop of your piece of ivory. If you have to copy your image by hand, make sure draw it so that it's about the size of the surface area of the object you're working on. Place the ivory or bone on top of the design on the sheet of paper and draw an outline of the object over it. Then, cut out this outline so that you can easily place your design on top of the object. Lay your design face-down on top of your bone or ivory object. Then, wet a cloth with acetone nail polish remover and rub the back of the cutout with it very slightly. Continue doing this until the acetone has soaked through the paper. You don't want to move it around on the surface, or it will smudge your outline. Discard the paper once you're done with it. If the outline didn't come off onto the bone clearly enough, use sandpaper to "erase" the etching. Then, wax the surface of your object and start the transferring process again.

For a child to benefit from a reflexology session, they must be able to concentrate and relax. Choose a room without distractions like television, toys, or other children. Playing soft music and lowering the lights slightly may help your child wind down for the session. Letting the child know that they have control over what happens to their body will help them feel comfortable during a reflexology session. Before starting, ask them if they are ready to begin. Do not start the session until they agree verbally. If you are doing reflexology in a school or community group, you will likely need a signed consent form from the child's parents. Reflexology requires only light pressure to different point on the feet and hands. Pressing too hard may make the child ticklish, cause discomfort, or feel aggressive. Be sure to use a very light touch and ask the child if they are okay with the pressure. If they are uncomfortable, ask them to demonstrate what level of pressure would be better on your hand. Reflexology will not have a positive effect if the child is not responsive to it. If a child seems uneasy or jumpy during the session, stop and offer to let them try the technique on your instead. If this doesn't interest them, allow them a break to play or relax and try again later.
