Why

Keep wildlife at your fingertips when you write or draw! Craft Model Magic® pencil toppers to perch atop your Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils.

Steps

1. Wild animals can’t be pets, but you can keep them nearby with these pencil toppers! What wild creature intrigues you the most? An endangered species? Animals that live at the Earth’s poles? Or critters crawling under your camp cabin?
2. Use Crayola Model Magic to sculpt your wild animal. To blend your own colors, rub the color from Crayola Washable Markers on white Model Magic. Knead it until you get just the right shade for your creature.
3. Insert a Crayola Erasable Colored Pencil into the bottom of your animal. Air-dry and you’re ready to write or draw.

When & Where

"The scouts used their pencil toppers as puppets. They created a puppet show about preserving wildlife."
- Donna B., scout leader.

"All students made endangered species pencil toppers. They attached flags about the characteristics and habitats of each animal for a gigantic display."
- Mario D., PTA leader.

Interesting Info

Since 1600, many kinds of wildlife, such as the Carolina parakeet and the passenger pigeon, have become extinct.

Safety Guidelines

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. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.
