Mirror Mimics

Why

Imagine a different hair color. Add a mustache. Wear expensive jewels. How? With Crayola® Window Washable Markers on a mirror!


Steps

1. Did you ever wonder how you’d look with a weird hairstyle, a beard, or a mustache? Maybe you’d like to look more like a movie star. Here’s a way to try any style you like! Before you begin, ask an adult’s permission to use either a large hand mirror or a bathroom mirror. Your art will wash off easily.

2. Hold your head very still in one place while looking in a mirror. Use Crayola Window Washable Markers to outline the oval of your face on the mirror.

3. Step back from the mirror. Add jewelry, a unique hairstyle, or other details to your drawing. Have fun!

4. Step up to the mirror so your face fits into the new style you created. How do you look? Just wipe off your art with a damp paper towel to try another look. Your family and friends will want to make Mirror Mimics, too!
