Steps

  • Step 1

    Lightly draw some circles on your paper in an interesting arrangement with Crayola® Classic Colored Pencils.

  • Step 2

    Dip a cotton swab in water to dampen it. Be careful not to soak the cotton swab completely. Select a color of Crayola® Washable Watercolors, and rub the damp cotton swab in the paint. Using the drawn circles as a guide, dab the paint-covered cotton swab on the paper to create a series of colorful dots!

  • Step 3

    Continue covering each drawn circle with bright Watercolor dots.

  • Step 4

    Fill in the blank areas of the paper with even more dots to create vivid circles and swirls!
