Color Wonder™ Critters

Why

You never know what creatures you'll find on hand when the kids use Crayola® Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints. Thumbprints become spiders, fingerprints can turn into imaginary creatures. The best part is it's mess-free!


Steps

1. Use Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints to make your fingerprints magically show up on the special Color Wonder paper.

2. Create "critters" by filling in a picture with your fingerprints on the special paper. Create mini animals from single fingerprints or combine several fingerprints for larger creations. Try tracing around your hands for an outline of a critter.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Interesting Info

One of the most colorful creatures around is the Giant Clam of Australia, which registers nearly 4 feet (1.2 m) long and weighs in at nearly 600 pounds (270 kg). The clam actually has a white shell but it is covered with many colorful algae who find the clam's outer body to be the perfect host. Put Color Wonder™ marker ink on your palm to create a clam shape.
