Why

Flags and fireworks fly with Color Wonder™ Fingerpaint! Let your fingers paint a colorful, patriotic scene.

Steps

1. 1. What designs can you find on flags? Lots of flags have colorful stripes. Some have stars, or trees, or the moon. What do flags for your country, state, or province look like?
2. 2. Use Crayola Color Wonder Fingerpaints and Paper to create a flag. Invent one, or paint one you like. Use your fingers, the sides of your hand, or your palm to spread the fingerpaint.
3. 3. Does your flag design have white parts? Don’t paint the paper there. White areas are called negative space. They make a nice contrast to the color, don’t you think?
4. 4. Add sprays of fireworks to your flag if you like.
