    Fold several sheets of white paper in half, book-style. With Crayola® Washable Markers, write the name of your magazine at the top of the cover.

  • Step 3

    Use Crayola Scissors to cut out pictures from recycled magazines. Glue them on your magazine cover with a Crayola Glue Stick.

  • Step 4

    Write your stories on the inside pages. Draw or cut out more pictures to illustrate them.

  • Step 5

    Create a table of contents listing what's inside your magazine.
