Tennis Is My Racket

Why

Tennis anyone? Show the world why you love tennis when you create this racket-shaped pennant.


Steps

1. On construction paper use Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils and a straight edge to draw a large, triangular pennant. Include a wide tab on the short edge of the pennant. Cut out the pennant with Crayola Scissors.

2. Draw a tennis racket on another sheet of construction paper. Decorate with Crayola Twistables. Cut out the racket. Use Crayola School Glue to attach the racket on top of the pennant. Air dry.

3. Decorate the pennant and the bottom part of a wooden paint stirrer with your Twistables. Write your school name, favorite tennis player's name, or words about tennis.

4. Fold the pennant tab back. Glue the tab around the paint stirrer. Air dry. Your pennant is now ready to wave and cheer!
