Come to My Party!
Get ready to party! Make your own invitations, favors, and hats—all bursting with bright colors.
1. Create invitations. Write your birthday party invitation on Crayola Color Explosion™ paper using a color-reveal marker. Decorate the borders, too! If you wish, decorate the other side with a Crayola Marker. Fold your invitation to fit in an envelope.
2. Design party hats. On Color Explosion paper, draw a large half-circle for each hat. Use your imagination to make each hat look unique. Add friends’ names, confetti, balloons, or any party theme!
3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out the hat. Fold the half circle so the flat sides meet to make a point. Tape the edges together.
4. Cut off the tip of the hat to leave a small hole at the top. Gather several pieces of ribbon and tie a knot at one end. Thread the loose ends through the hole. Keep the knot on the inside of hat.
5. Punch two holes near the bottom rim. Thread ribbon through each hole. Tape the ribbons together when your guests put on their hats.
6. Make party bags. Choose your party favors. Fold Color Explosion paper in half to make a pouch for the treats. Tape the two sides together. Leave the top open. Decorate your party bag however you want!
7. Punch two holes at the top of your bag close to the sides. Thread ribbon through the holes. Tie a festive bow. Have a great time at your party!
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.
Color Explosion™ Black—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.
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.
