Colorful Rainforest Swirls

Explore the surprising colors of Crayola Color Explosion™ White. Create a beautiful rainforest with just one marker! Experiment with different stencil techniques for cool effects.

1. Your Crayola Color Explosion™ White paper includes colors and stencils that are perfect for designing rainforest scenes.

2. Use the Color Explosion Marker to trace a shape from the stencil onto the Color Explosion paper. Then move the stencil slightly and trace part of the stencil to add to that first. For example, you could trace several leaves along the stem of a flower.

3. Repeat this technique to fill your page with an interesting picture. To really make your picture pop (literally), trace extra shapes on another piece of Color Explosion White paper and cut them out. Use adhesive foam dots behind these pieces to put them in strategic places on your background.

4. Another interesting way to use stencils is to trace the images with the black drawing marker. Use the Color Explosion Marker to color the spaces around the shapes you trace. Every color is unexpected—just like life in the rainforest.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

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.

Sponges and Foam—Sponges, foam, and other expandable materials should not be used with children 3 years old and younger.

Even though Charles Macintosh of Scotland was first to invent a waterproof cloth in 1823, he was not the inventor of the first raincoat! Francois Fresnau, an engineer in French Guiana, made the first raincoat by coating an overcoat with rubber in 1747!
