Color Wonder™ Garden

Why

This garden is growing fast! Kids use Crayola® Color Wonder™ markers to fence in their rambling flowers or vegetables.


Steps

1. Tear the bottom edge of a piece of Crayola Color Wonder paper to make a fancy edge (zig-zags, waves, or scallops). Fold up the torn edge about one third of the way on the paper.

2. Use Crayola Color Wonder markers to draw colorful flowers and vegetable plants that overlap onto the folded edge. Notice that Color Wonder won't color on the back side of the paper.

3. When your garden is full, unfold the bottom to reveal the area behind the fence. Use Color Wonder markers to design your garden fence!

Interesting Info

Lilies were a symbol of purity for early Christians. The white trumpet lily gets its special name from its trumpet-shaped flower. Native to Japan, trumpet lilies were brought to the United States from Bermuda around 1900. They bloom in the spring and have become popular decorations, known as Easter Lilies in the United States.
