Birthday at the Beach
Looking for party ideas? Shell necklaces are perfect accessories for a funny, sunny Birthday at the Beach party. They’re easy to make and colorful too!
1. Ready to plan a birthday party at the beach? Select your color scheme first. Crayola® Markers are the ultimate in beach-y keen colors! Write your invitations and menus, decorate treat bags, and create party favors with them.
2. Guests at your party will LOVE to make a tropical colored "shell" necklace with Crayola Neon Model Magic. Here are directions to share with them. Decide how many shells you want on your necklace. Shape Model Magic into shells with your fingers or on the back of a teaspoon. Or cut out shell shapes with a cookie cutter.
3. Use a straw to poke a hole into the top of each shell. If you like, press designs into the shell with textured objects such as fork tines or sea shells..
4. Measure out yarn for your necklace. Cut it with Crayola Scissors. Thread shells, tying each one separately. Air-dry your necklace overnight.
5. Attach the ends of your necklace with tape when it is ready to wear. Remember to take your shell necklace off before you swim!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough With Small Parts—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—
- 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.
- If the arts & crafts project involves making small objects, follow the small parts/choking hazards standards:
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years." - 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.
Modeling Tools—Use the least dangerous point or edge sufficient to do the job. For example, craft sticks, plastic knives and forks, and cookie cutters can cut or carve modeling materials.
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.
