Famous Leader Pop-Ups
Freedom rings out loud and clear with art that reflects people's struggles and triumphs. Highlight history and give children a creative way to express complicated concepts such as civil rights and democracy.
1. Find a picture of a famous leader such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, or Winston Churchill.
2. Sketch the leader's head and shoulders on construction paper with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils.
3. Cut out the silhouette using Crayola Scissors. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to glue it on a large piece of construction paper or poster board.
4. Draw and cut out hair, eyes, and other facial features. Glue in place.
5. Cut several small pieces of light-colored construction paper and fold each in half. Draw more symbols of freedom, such as the country's flag, capitol building, ballots, or statues, with Crayola Metallic Crayons.
6. Glue these cards around the leader's silhouette.
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.
