Color Trios

Three is a common number in favorite children's tales: the Three Little Pigs, the Three Bears, and Three Billy Goats Gruff. As kids draw with three crayons or markers at a time, they'll enhance their visual awareness, all the while learning about parallel lines and multiples.

1. Pick out three of your favorite colors from your Crayola Crayons or Washable Markers.

2. Hold all three crayons together. Wrap a rubber band around them. Tape the three crayons together so they won't slip.

3. Now draw with your color trio. Making swirls and curls is as easy as 1..2..3.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"This is great for keeping my kids amused while we wait for appointments."
Victor F., dad of two kids ages 3 and 4.

"We drew everything in threes, for a combined art-math lesson."
Katerina P., family child care provider.

Drawing and coloring are early writing skills. To encourage using these skills, tape butcher paper, grocery bags, or large sheets of plain white paper to a small table, covering the entire area if you can. That way young artists can write or draw whenever they're interested.
