Why

Dragon Drool. Belching Baboon. Freaky Phoenix. Combine the bright colors of Crayola Silly Scents™ Markers into a fun-smelling, wild-animal mobile to hang in your room!

Steps

1. Decide what type of wild animals to include on your mobile. How about a snake or a fish? Follow a theme, such as forest animals, or combine your favorite safari animals. It’s up to you!
2. To create a snake, cut a paper plate into a spiral with Crayola Scissors. Start on the edge and just keep cutting around in circles until you get to the middle. The center is the snake’s head.
3. Decorate your snake using the fabulous colors and smells of Crayola Silly Scents™ Markers. Use your imagination and nose. The animals in the picture are similar to traditional Oaxacan creatures from Mexico. The designs are very bright and jazzy. What does a snake smell like? Enchanted Forest? or Witch’s Brew? Punch a hole in snake’s head and hang it with a ribbon.
4. Add more smelly animals to your mobile. To make a fish cut out an oval body and a triangle for a fin. Glue them together with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the glue.
5. Color your fish in a tropical pattern, maybe with Abominable Snowman and Scary Movie. Punch holes and hang with ribbon along with your snake. Add as many scented animals as you like. The more the smellier!

Safety Guidelines

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
