Why

Let the neighborhood know it’s time to celebrate! Make a banner for your next block party—or bike rally, birthday bash, yard sale, art show, any theme!

Steps

1. Big parties need big banners! Use a Crayola® Color Cyclone™ Paint Spinner to create exciting signs to announce your next event. Assemble the Color Cyclone. Change into clothes and shoes that can be washed.
2. Place your roll of paper outside on a safe, washable painting area such as a sidewalk. Hold down the paper with rocks or other small weights. Think about what you want your sign to say. Plan ahead to make sure your paper is long enough to fit in all the words. If you want, lightly draw your words with Crayola Sidewalk Chalk first.
3. Use the Crayola Sidewalk Paint Sprayer to write BIG letters and fun designs. Air-dry your banner before you hang it up and the party begins!

Interesting Info

Many communities gather at block parties and hold local street fairs. In some towns, neighbors can have the streets closed to traffic in order to celebrate safely together. Check on the rules in your community.
