Alien or Astronaut?
What do space aliens look like to Earthlings? What do our astronauts look like to Martians? This split-headed puppet is just the beginning of your space adventure!
1. Read the story It Came From Outer Space. Did the ending surprise you? Think about how you pictured the alien in your mind before you read the last page.
2. Use Crayola® Model Magic® to shape an alien. Will it have one or more heads? Arms? Legs? You choose! We made ours with a head that is split in two: alien and astronaut.
3. Push a craft stick into the body to create a puppet. Air-dry your puppet overnight.
4. Cover your craft area with newspaper. Paint your puppet with Crayola Kid’s Paint and Paint Brushes. Air-dry before your puppet heads to outer space.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
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.
