Flag of Folds

Why

Fold special Crayola® Color Wonder™ paper. Then design your own banner between the creases!

Steps

1. Fold a piece of Crayola Color Wonder Paper to design a flag. You could fold the paper in strips, like a fan, or sideways to make diagonal lines. Fold the paper however you wish. Press hard on each crease and unfold.

2. Decide how to design your unique flag inside the folded lines. You might make one for a country, state, or province. What symbols could you add, such as stars, leaves, hearts, flowers, circles, or animals?

3. Use your favorite Color Wonder Marker colors to draw pictures, make stripes, or add other original designs inside your flag's folded areas. Display your Flag of Folds.
