Bull's Eye!
Draw colorful targets that pop into spectacular 3-D when you look through the 3-D glasses. Use plastic bottle caps, buttons, or other small items as markers. Try to slide, bounce, or toss your markers to score points.
1. Use Crayola 3-D Sidewalk Chalk to draw concentric circles for bull’s eye designs on a flat, safe outdoor surface. Ask your friends to draw their own colorful designs, too. On a rainy day, you could also draw these on black paper.
2. To create the best 3-D effects, leave a small black space showing between each chalk color. Place cool colors such as blue, purple, and green near warm colors such as red, yellow, and orange for maximum 3-D depth. Try on the glasses as you draw to see the effects.
3. Mark playing lines a short distance away from the targets for players to stand behind. Mark a close line for younger players and another line a bit farther away for older players.
4. For markers, you could use recycled plastic bottle caps or container lids, large buttons, or small stones, for example. Take turns bouncing, sliding, or tossing your markers onto the targets. To keep score, assign point values to the different color rings and a big bonus for the center circle. For example the outer rings might be worth 5, 10, or 20 points and the center circle could be worth 50 points!
5. Other ideas to try: 1. Take an additional step backwards before each round to make the contest more challenging. 2. Each player gets three markers, one to slide, one to bounce, and one to toss. 3. Draw triangular or square targets. Add bonus points for landing on the corners.
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.
3D Glasses—Should only be used for viewing 3D images. Do not wear for long periods of time or while performing physical activities. Not to be used as sunglasses.
Outdoor Crafts—Choose safe outdoor areas, away from traffic and dangerous equipment. Close adult supervision is required.
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).
