Can you ever tell what's inside a book by its cover? This unusual sneaker-print book cover, and what kids write inside, might help them track their futures!
1.
Ask an adult for permission to make prints with the bottom of a sneaker. You'll use the print, on construction paper, as a book cover.
2.
Cut construction paper and at least three sheets of white paper into large squares with Crayola® Scissors.
3.
Cover your work area with recycled newspaper. Carefully cover the bottom of your sneaker with Crayola Washable Kid's Paint using a Crayola So Big Brush.
4.
Press the shoe on the construction paper until the entire design is transferred. Fill the square with shoe prints. Dry.
5.
Fold all of the paper squares from corner to corner to form triangles. Staple the white paper inside the shoe-print cover.
6.
With Crayola Metallic Colored Pencils, write a story about your future. Where would you like to live? What kind of job appeals to you? How would you describe your future family?
