Snowy Night Scene

What's more delightful than a snowy nightscape? Crayola® Gel Markers create that luminous, airy feeling that only snow can bring.

1. Can you remember (or imagine) the stillness during and after a snowfall? Snow muffles sound and makes everything appear very bright. Night can be as light as day, especially if there is a full moon.

2. On dark construction paper, use Crayola Gel Markers to capture a Snowy Night scene. Maybe there are night animals, an owl calling or a deer foraging for food. Trees and mountains cast moon shadows. Stars twinkle in the clearing sky. Add falling or drifted snow and shape the mood of the night.

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.

"After a day of skiing, it was soothing to do a family art project in the hotel."
Doug M., dad of 8- and 10-year-olds.

"We live in Rochester, New York, where it averages 94 inches of snow a year. My kids had lots of ideas for this!"
Beth R., mom of children ages 3 and 7.

When it snows in the United States, the average snow fall per day is 2 inches (5 cm) except in the Western mountains where it's 7 inches (18 cm). Snow accounts for 75% of all the year-round surface water supplies.
