Traveling to the Future

How will you go places in the future? Use your imagination to think of new possibilities!

• 1.

  Research and discuss various types of transportation and how they are used. Imagine yourself in a city or planet in the future. How would you get from one place to another?

• 2.

  On white paper, use Crayola® Markers to draw yourself using transportation of the future. What does the vehicle look like? Where would you go?

• 3.

  Use Crayola Scissors to cut fabric for your clothing in the drawing. Attach the fabric with Crayola School Glue.

• 4.

  Cover a table top with recycled newspaper. Use Crayola Washable Watercolors and Paint Brushes to tint areas of your drawing. Use plenty of water with a small amount of paint for a light wash, or less water and more paint for darker, more saturated colors. Dry flat.
