Daring Dragonfly
Let this colorful creature fly into your days. Brighten up any room with the dragonfly’s glowing designs!
1. If you prefer, make a dragonfly pattern first (step 2). Or you can make your own freehand drawing with the Crayola Color Explosion™ color-reveal marker on Color Explosion Paper(then skip to step 3).
2. To make a pattern. Fold white paper in half. Use Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils to sketch half of a dragonfly along the folded edge. Here’s how: Begin near the top of the page at the fold. Draw half of a long, tapered oval. You can easily erase this basic shape to create a head. Draw two overlapping wings on the dragonfly body. Cut out your folded dragonfly with Crayola Scissors. Open the pattern and place it on a piece of Color Explosion Paper. Trace the shape with the color-reveal marker.
3. Decorate your insect however you like. Real dragonflies have lines inside their wings, kind of like leaf veins. You can use lines, dots, or whatever designs you want!
4. Cut out your dragonfly.
