Funky Flowers

Why

Use fun lines and designs to bring out the colors of your Crayola® Color Explosion™ paper. Create a funky, fun flower to decorate your room!

Steps

1. Draw a large circle in the center of a Crayola Color Explosion paper with the Color-Reveal Marker. This is the center of your flower.

2. Draw several very large petals touching the center circle and going almost to the edge. Decorate inside them with lines that echo the shape, lines that criss-cross, or little designs. Leave some black areas for contrast and to outline shapes.

3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out around the outside edge. Display in your room. Why not make a "garden" with lots of colorful flowers?

Safety Guidelines

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.
