Why

What seasonal scene can your kids fit inside a cup? These miniatures are great for fine-motor skills and decorating any time of year!

Steps

1. With Crayola® Colored Pencils, trace around a clear plastic cup turned upside down on cardboard. Cut out the circle with Crayola Scissors.
2. Choose a seasonal scene to make inside your cup. For fall, could it be a scarecrow sitting in a cornfield, apples on a tree, or a field of pumpkins?
3. Cover the cardboard circle with Model Magic for the base of your scene. Sculpt a tiny scarecrow, cornstalks, pumpkins, basket of apples, birds, or other items that will fit inside your cup. Add Crayola Glitter Glue accents. Dry.
4. Draw a ring of Crayola School Glue around the outside edge of the base. Press the cup's edge into the glue. Dry.

Interesting Info

No one knows the true origin of the scarecrow. Some say that it was a baker's old pole used in large brick ovens to take out the bread. When it wore out, it would be put to use in the field and draped in clothes. Scarecrows were also called Jack-a-Lent, Mammet, or Tattie Bouie in various parts of the world.

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.
