Why

Design your own sneakers! Turn outgrown shoes into the latest style after you trace around them with Crayola® Color Wonder™.


Steps

1. Place a pair of outgrown shoes on Crayola Color Wonder Paper. Trace around each shoe with a Crayola Color Wonder Marker. Take the shoes off of the paper.

2. Design a new pair of sneakers just the way you'd like them to look! Draw colorful shoe laces or invent a new way to close your shoes. Add wings so you can run fast if you wish. Choose your favorite colors. Create your own unique style!
