Pet Portraits
Picture your pet! Do you have a hamster? A cat? A parakeet? Use crayon resist to show off your favorite creature!
1. What pets are part of your family? How often do you include them in a family portrait? Here's a way to do your own pet portrait!
2. Follow you pet around for a while. Watch how it moves. Does it have a tail? Fins? Fur? Scales? Beak? What markings does it have?
3. Draw your pet with Crayola® Crayons on paper. Show its body parts, its colors, and the texture of its skin or fur.
4. Cover your art area with newspaper. Use Crayola Washable Watercolors and Paint Brushes to show your pet in its favorite place. Does it have a cage, bowl, or bed? Crayon wax resists watercolors, so your pet will shine in its surroundings.
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.
