Thirty Wonderful Dots

Why

Children's creativity and confidence grow when they rise to challenges. This Crayola® Color Wonder™ activity encourages children to connect dots to make a picture. The best part is it's mess-free!


Steps

1. On a sheet of Crayola Color Wonder paper, place 30 dots randomly with a Crayola Color Wonder Marker. Or ask your friends to make dots, too, and then exchange papers.

2. Connect all the dots in any way to form a picture. Do several more dot pictures.

3. Cut out your pictures with Crayola Scissors. Glue onto construction paper with Crayola Glue Sticks.

4. Using Color Wonder Markers, color in your pictures. Notice how the markers only draw on Color Wonder paper.

5. Add sparkle to your pictures by outlining and highlighting them with Crayola Glitter Glue.

Interesting Info

Dots and Boxes is an easy game for children to learn logic, math, sequence, and shapes. To start, draw even rows and columns of dots on paper. Connect two dots next to each other at each turn until you complete a box. Put your initial in the completed box. Each time you enclose a box, you get another turn. The person who has the most boxes at the end is the winner.
