Why

Track down some wild or cuddly animals! Take a "paws" to have fun.

Steps

1. Look at books about animals and the tracks they leave. With Crayola Color Wonder™ Markers and Paper, outline BIG animal paw prints.

2. Dab the Color Wonder Paint on your paper inside the outlines. Gently squeeze to get the paint to come out! Air-dry your animal tracks.

3. Tear out your paw shapes, picking off just a little paper at a time so the edges are furry. Leave a white edge around them.

4. To play with the paw prints, spread them out in a path. Take your stuffed animals or plastic figures for a walk!
