Character Cutouts
Put a friendly face on a familiar storybook character. Kids make posters with face and arm openings so they can step into the characters - literally.
1. Choose a character or person that you'd like to be from history or current events, or a favorite story or song. On large posterboard, use Crayola® Washable Markers to design a life-size character. Leave the face blank and draw two holes where your arms will go.
2. Ask an adult to help you cut out the face and arm holes with Crayola Scissors.
3. Decorate your character's clothing, hair, and surroundings with Crayola Glitter Glue. Spritz with water if you like for a dotted effect. Dry.
4. Place your arms through the two openings to balance the poster board on your body. Peer through the face opening to become the character!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Costumes & Masks—
CAUTION: When children wear hand-crafted costumes and masks, make sure the crafts do not obstruct the child’s vision, hearing, or impede movement. Do not use feathers, fabric, or raffia on wearable costumes and masks because these items do not pass costume flammability tests. Wearable masks are those held in place on the face with elastic, yarn, or other materials. Keep away from open flames.
Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
