Bookmarks With a Tropical Flair

Why

Never lose your place in a book again! Let the magic of Crayola Color Explosion™ White help you design a colorful bookmark with a surprisingly tropical flair!

Steps

1. With Crayola Scissors, cut Crayola Color Explosion™ White paper into several bookmarks. Create different sizes and shapes so each one is unique.

2. Use the Color Explosion Marker to uncover the amazing tropical patterns and colors hidden in the paper. Color sections of the paper or make dots and dashes to show a little of the designs. Outline areas or add highlights with the black drawing marker if you wish.

3. To add ribbon or yarn, punch a hole near the top of the bookmark. Tie on the ribbon. All you need is a good book for your beautiful bookmark!

Safety Guidelines

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.

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.
