Celebration Countdown Chain
Count the days until your birthday, the first day of school, or holidays such as Valentine’s Day! Before you know it, the big day will arrive.
1. Are you eager to celebrate your next birthday? Can’t wait for Valentine’s Day? Whatever the holiday that’s coming up, count down the days with this chain.
2. With Crayola® Scissors, cut as many strips of white paper as there are days until the holiday. For Valentine’s Day, you would use 14 strips to start counting on February 1.
3. Use Crayola Classic Fine Line Markers and MiniStampers to decorate each strip differently. Include holiday sayings, symbols, and other designs.
4. Cut slightly wider strips of colored paper. Attach your decorated strips to them with a Crayola Glue Stick.
5. Glue the strips together to create a paper chain.
6. Remove one link each day until your holiday arrives!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

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.
