New Sneakers for Me

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

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!

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.

Rubber-soled sneakers are believed to have originated in mid-nineteenth century London. Shoes called "sneaks" had canvas tops and India rubber soles.
