Crayon Critters
Where do you find interesting creatures? You can find them in nature, in your imagination—or even waiting inside a box of crayons.
1. Where have you found interesting creatures? Under rocks? Flying by your ear? Or in your imagination? Now you can almost make them come to life.
2. Pick a Crayola® Crayon for the body of your creature. Cut chenille stems (long enough to wrap around the crayon) with Crayola Scissors for legs and antennae. Bend and shape chenille stems to support the crayon creature’s body.
3. Cut out shapes from construction paper for wings or other parts. Decorate with Crayola Crayons. Stick to chenille stems with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry before twisting chenille stems around crayon.
4. Make eyes and other body parts from paper, crayons, and other craft items.
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.
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.
