Birthday Candle Bowling
Channel kids' pre-party excitement into making Birthday Candle Bowling. Design the game along with them to show your enthusiasm for creativity!
1. Gather as many clean, dry quart milk cartons as the birthday child's new age. Staple the top of each carton closed.
2. Measure construction paper to fit around each carton, including the top. Cut with Crayola® Scissors.
3. Cover the paper candle with a thick layer of Crayola Twistables designs. Use the tip of your scissors or the edge of a Crayola Marker cap to carve lines across each design. Experiment with different designs and patterns on each candle. Attach the candle coverings to the milk cartons with Crayola® School Glue.
4. Cut or tear red, orange, and yellow tissue paper into flames. Staple the pretend flames to the top of each candle.
5. To play Birthday Candle Bowling, set up the birthday candle pins at the end of a hallway or on a sidewalk. Players take turns rolling a lightweight ball at the pins.
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.
Recycled Containers—Must be clean and safe. Do not use containers that contained bleach or other harmful chemicals (for example, household cleaners, dishwasher or laundry detergents). Do not use recycled metal cans that have sharp edges (for example, lids removed by household can openers).
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.
