Colorful Fringe Cutting

Do you know a child who's just learning to use scissors? Here's a great way to practice cutting—and create beautiful blanket art.

1. Place Crayola® Color Wonder™ Paper the long way on your table. Make a blanket design, such as ribbons, plaids, or Native American symbols, with Crayola Color Wonder Markers.

2. Fill in the design using the Color Wonder Markers to create a colorful blanket.

3. With Crayola Scissors, make small, even cuts along the two shorter edges of the paper to create fringe.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Color Wonder™—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"We did this project using rugs in our house for ideas. Some are family heirlooms that have stories."
Marianne J., mother of 4- and 5-year-olds.

"This activity gives children a purpose as they learn to manage scissors. Our walls are filled with bright blankets!"
Sonya S., nursery school volunteer.

Navajo beliefs tell how Spider Woman (one of the Holy People) first taught women to weave. Since that time both weaving skills and tools have been passed down from mother to daughter.
