Crawling Creatures
Who's a bug watcher? There are so many fascinating insects and arachnids to discover! Create several Crawling Creatures for bug-loads of fun!
1. Do you know the difference between an insect and a spider? How many body parts do they have? How many legs? Find out before you make your Crawling Creatures.
2. Using Crayola® Model Magic®, create a real-looking insect or arachnid. Or use your imagination to develop a creature never seen before.
3. Add bumps and swirls, dots and hair, antennae and legs with bits of Model Magic. You could also use the plastic bug legs from the Model Magic Bug Mania kit. Air dry.
4. Decide where you might find your crawling creature, such as on a leaf, fruit, flower, or web. Use your Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils on construction paper to draw your bug's home. Color it with Crayola Washable Markers.
5. Cut out your bug's habitat using Crayola Scissors. Use Crayola Gel Markers to add accents such as leaf veins or intricate designs on a spider web.
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. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.
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.
