Pretty Summer Flowers

Bring a colorful bit of summer inside anytime with this miniature planter. This project will grow on you! It makes a great gift, too.

1. Wash and dry a recycled plastic container. Fill the bottom with a ball of aluminum foil. Cover the foil with Crayola® Model Magic®.
2. Create a big ball of green Model Magic by mixing together blue and yellow.
3. Form large leaves. Press them onto the base.
4. Add a small amount of yellow or blue Model Magic to the remaining green. Create a few more, smaller leaves. Continue changing the green color until the planter is full of leaves.
5. Create flowers for your planter, using other colors of modeling compound. Attach flowers to the leaves. Air-dry your planter overnight.
6. Add details with Crayola Gel Markers.

"Our Girls’ Club used these planters as name cards for their Mother’s Day get-together. They were beautiful!"
- Daphne R., volunteer leader.

"My daughter created a cactus and sent this planter to her grandmother. She adores her no-prickles plant!"
- Phillipe Y., father of age 9.

The rose was chosen as the national flower by the U.S. Congress in 1986.

Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—

Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient.
Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products.
