Fingertip Friends

Why

Turn hand tracings into creative characters. Crayola® Color Wonder™ won't color on skin so hands stay mess free.


Steps

1. Put one hand flat on Crayola Color Wonder Paper. Press your palm down and spread your fingers apart.

2. Trace around your hand with a Crayola Color Wonder Marker. Carefully lift your hand from the paper. Color Wonder ink is clear, so no color will appear on your hand.

3. Draw finger puppet characters on each finger using Color Wonder Markers. Make silly creatures, fairy tale characters, or favorite animals. Turn each finger into a different character. Color in the rest of your hand with Color Wonder Markers.

4. Tell a story with your fingertip friends. Wash your hands well with soap and water after you complete your project.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
