Color Wonder™ Beach Scene Collage

Why

What’s to love when you play and swim at the beach? Remember the fun times in the sand, sun, and waves!

Steps

1. What are your favorite things about the beach? Use Crayola Color Wonder™ Fingerpaint and Markers to make a fun collage. Just color the Color Wonder Paper, tear out shapes, and glue them to a piece of construction paper. Here are some ideas to try.

2. What color is the ocean? Try swirling blue and green fingerpaint to create the sea. Tear out triangles to make waves.

3. Make a beach ball by swirling two or three colors in a circle. Tear along the edges and you’re ready to play catch!

4. What else do you take to the beach? A sand bucket or umbrella? Colorful towels? Where’s the big bright yellow sun? When all your shapes are ready, glue them to paper.

5. What’s missing from your picture? You of course! To make fingerprint people, dip your fingertips into the paint. Press them on the Color Wonder Paper. Add hair or a bathing suit. Tear out your people and glue them on your beach scene. Air-dry your collage before hanging.
