Oh Canada! Study the mighty maple and create a spatter painting with Crayola® Washable Paint and an old toothbrush.
1.
Find a picture of the Canadian flag. Notice the prominent maple leaf and the bright red colors. Why do you think this leaf and this color were chosen as a national symbol of Canada?
2.
Research maple trees to learn where they grow, conditions under which they thrive, size, and ages of the oldest maples. Explore their uses as shade trees and for harvest of maple sugar.
3.
Search outdoors for fallen maple leaves, or use Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils to trace pictures of maple leaves on recycled file folders. Cut out the leaf patterns with Crayola Scissors.
4.
Cover the work surface with recycled newspaper. In a large, flat recycled box, such as a paper-box lid, arrange maple leaves in a pleasing design on white paper.
5.
Dip a recycled tooth brush in Crayola Washable Paint. Use your fingers to brush across the bristles, spattering paint onto the paper. Spatter a good amount of paint across the leaves.
6.
Carefully remove the leaves and then your painting from the spatter-box. Dry.
