Chunky Checkers
Check out this clever Model Magic® game that combines crafty handiwork with strategy and reasoning skills.
1. Flatten Crayola Model Magic into a large checkerboard-sized square. With a craft stick, divide the board into 8 rows across and 8 columns down.
2. Form quarter-size checkers out of red and black Model Magic. Make 16 checkers of each color. Etch an imprint of a king or other figure on each checker using a craft stick or plastic dinnerware. Dry the game overnight.
3. Cover the work area with newspaper. Using red and black Crayola Washable Paint and Brushes, alternate the color of each square on the board. If you begin the first row with a black square then start the next row with red and continue alternating. Dry before playing checkers.
4. Optional: Make the checker board by using black and red Model Magic, alternating black 32 red and black squares. Seal seams with damp fingers.
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.
Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—
- Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
- Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
- Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
- The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
- Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
- Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient.
- Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products.
