Traveling to the Future

How will you go places in the future? Use your imagination to think of new possibilities!

1. Research and discuss various types of transportation and how they are used. Imagine yourself in a city or planet in the future. How would you get from one place to another?

2. On white paper, use Crayola® Markers to draw yourself using transportation of the future. What does the vehicle look like? Where would you go?

3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut fabric for your clothing in the drawing. Attach the fabric with Crayola School Glue.

4. Cover a table top with recycled newspaper. Use Crayola Washable Watercolors and Paint Brushes to tint areas of your drawing. Use plenty of water with a small amount of paint for a light wash, or less water and more paint for darker, more saturated colors. Dry flat.

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.

Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

Create a collage of your ideas about future cities or farms. Write stories about vehicles and adventures in them.
Research today's land, sea, and air transportation. How fast can high-tech vehicles go? What do they look like? Where could you ride in them?
Design a collection of future clothing. Glue garments on poster board for display.
