Fork Painted Crayon Craft Tips for Success
- When making this craft, use a fork to dip in paint and tap it down on the paper. Tap over and over to create the fun fork designs in a straight line shape. Do one color at a time and then move next to it for the next color. Wash or wipe your fork with paper towels in between colors.
- You should use a yellow piece of construction paper for the crayon box. Let the painted crayons completely dry before you glue the paper box on, or the paper will wrinkle.
- You can add the green details on the crayon box with green construction paper triangles or draw the sides on with a green marker. We chose to draw it, but you can focus on rectangle and triangle shapes with young kids if you add paper ones.
- Once you’re finished putting the craft together, you can add details with a black marker. Add stripes to the crayons, and you can even choose to add a cute saying to go on top once complete if desired.
- Cute crayon sayings include:
- “Bursting with color!”
- “The sharpest crayon in the box”
- “Having a colorful year”
- “It’s time to get your cray-on”
Painted Colorful Crayon Box Craft for Kids:
Materials:
- Acrylic paint in different colors
- Yellow construction paper
- Plastic fork
- Green marker (or construction paper)
- Black marker
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Directions:
- Begin by dipping the tips of your fork in one color of paint. Start close to the end of the left side of the paper and, using your fork, stamp a line down your paper. Using the tips of your fork, stamp a triangular tip to the line.
- Wash off your fork and do this again with a new color of paint. Stamp it down just to the right of the last colored crayon, but don’t overlap colors. Continue this process with 7 total colors/crayons.
- Let it dry completely.
- Cut out a large yellow rectangle the same width as the painted crayons and about half the length of the paper. Glue the rectangle towards the bottom of the paper over the crayons’ bottoms for the box.
- Using a green marker, cover the bottom corners of the box with green triangles and write the word crayons on the box.
- Using a black marker, draw two lines on the top of each crayon and add a cute saying at the top of the paper to complete your project.
