Colorful Folds

Create lively designs just by folding paper! Fill in the shapes on creased paper with lots of color.

1. Fold white paper a few times. Fold it in different directions to make unusual shapes.

2. Open the paper. Outline each shape that you created with Crayola Large Washable Crayons. Can you name any of the shapes you made?

3. Fill in the shapes with different colors. Color the other side of the paper if you’d like.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
