I Love You, Dad!

Surprise your dad (or mom) with an "I Love You" portrait. Frame it in bright colors for a wonderful gift.

1. Draw a gift portrait of your Dad (or yourself) with Crayola Color Wonder™ Markers. Here’s one way to draw it. On Color Wonder paper, draw an oval for a face. Watch as the color appears. Draw two sideways ovals for eyes, an S squiggle for a nose, and a great big smile.

2. Complete your portrait with facial features. What color hair does your Dad have? Does he wear a tie? A uniform? Glasses or a hat?

3. Create a bright Color Wonder Paint frame around the portrait. Write a message or favorite saying around the edge. Or make dots or lines of color. Dab paint in your favorite hue over your loving words. Watch as the letters and textures fill the page.

4. Surprise your Dad on Father’s Day, his birthday, or any day with this wonderful present!
