Family Badges

Display your heritage! Make your own badges to celebrate your family's coat of arms.

1. Cut a circle, square, or shield from a recycled file folder with Crayola® Scissors.

2. Divide the shape into a few sections using Crayola Washable Markers. Fill each section with different designs to represent your family's favorite things such as foods, activities, and your name.

3. Create personalized badges for each member of your family, too. Include the person's favorite color, food, and hobbies on each badge. Write names on each badge.

4. Glue colored yarn to the back of each badge with Crayola School Glue. Attach the yarn ends with a piece of clear adhesive tape. Dry before wearing or displaying.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

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.
