Christmas Candy Dish
Decorate for the holiday season with this pretty poinsettia candy dish.
1. Fold red or pink construction paper in half, then in half again, and once more in the other direction so you end up with eight sections. On one section, use a Crayola® Washable Marker to draw a pretty poinsettia flower (these are really colored leaves). With Crayola Scissors, cut out the poinsettia. Use it as a template to cut the remaining seven flowers, two or three at a time.
2. Fold green construction paper in half, and then in thirds, to form six sections. Draw one leaf shape as a pattern. Cut out all six leaves.
3. Draw veins on the leaves and florets in the centers of the poinsettia flowers.
4. Coat the rim of a sturdy paper bowl with Crayola School Glue. Place the leaves, in pairs, at three equally spaced points around the bowl. Arrange the flowers around the bowl, overlapping as you go. Dry.
5. Push up the inner leaves and flowers so they're not in your way when you reach for candy.
6. Use Crayola Glitter Glue to decorate the poinsettias. Glue a festive ribbon bow to your bowl.
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.
Glitter Glue—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
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.
