Lots of Lines

Long and short. Wavy and zigzag. Straight and curved. Wide and narrow. How many kinds of lines can you draw? Lots!

1. Lines come in a variety of shapes and sizes! Here's a chance to try to make as many different kinds of lines as you can.

2. Fold a large plain paper into several sections, accordion-style.

3. With Crayola® Kid's First® Washable Markers, draw a line across the folds.

4. In each section, draw a different kind of line. Choose different colors, widths, and directions. Make as many different kinds of lines as you can think of.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"My children started naming their lines. When they wrote the words, they created more lines!"
Rochelle N., home-school mom of 6- and 8- year-olds.

"Hurray for an activity that appeals to all ages! My big kids like to do this without picking up their markers."
Tatiana P., mom of 3-, 5-, and 7-year olds.

The mathematical definition of a line is a mark that extends in opposite directions and goes on without end. A number of artists have used only one line to create masterpieces. Check out the contour drawings of Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso to see what they drew with a line.
