Bubbling Up Pictures

Have fun with your favorite photos! Let only parts of them show through cut-out bubble letters that sum up your party or vacation fun!

1. Think of a short word that says something special about the picture. Write this word in big, wide letters on the paper with Crayola Colored Pencils. Cut around the outsides of the bubble letters so you can see through them.

2. Choose a photograph showing friends or places you really enjoy. With Crayola Scissors, cut colorful construction paper the same size as the photo.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials.

Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
