Play With Me, Puppy

Why

Capture the pleasure of your puppy’s company with mess-free Crayola Color Wonder™ Paint.

Steps

1. What’s a puppy like to be around? A blur of movement and wiggling love. Why not paint those fun feelings?

2. On Crayola Color Wonder™ Paper, make broad strokes with a Color Wonder™ Paint-filled brush to shape your puppy’s face and ears. For fur, blot the brush to give your pooch’s coat a textured feel. Line up three big dots in a row to form paws.

3. To add puppy-like energy and movement to your painting, outline your colorful critter using Color Wonder™ Markers. Squiggle lines around the ears, jangle lines down the face, and waggle lines around its body. Add a nose and alert eyes to your puppy’s nuzzling face. Air-dry your puppy painting before you display it on the fridge or bulletin board.

Safety Guidelines

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.

Interesting Info

More than 5 million puppies are born in the United States each year. All puppies are born blind, deaf, and toothless. They spend their first few weeks sleeping 90% of the time, and eat most of their waking hours. After they are 3 weeks old, they develop their sense of smell.
