What's Growing?
Combine a few fun shapes into an eye-catching, "growing" piece of art!
1. Decide what plant you’d like to use for your "growing" subject. Chose a real one, such as a flower or tree, or invent an imaginary one.
2. On a piece of Crayola Color Explosion paper, use the color-reveal marker to draw a basic geometric shape that is most like the largest part of your plant. You might begin with a circle for the center of a flower.
3. What other basic shapes can you add that resemble other parts of your plant? Triangles might work for petals and leaves, for example. Add as many details as you like! You can also add a simple background.
4. To finish your picture, repeat shapes around the outside edge for a frame.
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.
