Cool Kaleidoscope

Why

Create a radial design with beautiful colors to brighthen up any room.


Steps

1. On a piece of Crayola® Color Explosion™ paper, use the color-reveal marker to outline a LARGE circle.

2. Divide the circle with lines going across the center, just like cutting a pizza into 8 sections. Draw a second line next to the first one, leaving a thin black area between them.

3. Decorate inside one shape. Fill the other seven shapes with the same designs. This gets tricky when you’re upside down on the circle!

4. With Crayola Scissors, cut out your circle, leaving a thin black line around the outside.
