Fantastic Folded Fellow

All kinds of fun unfolds when you create this Fantastic Folded Fellow. Can you fold everything to fit under his head? It's easy origami!

1. Draw a long, narrow creature with Crayola® Twistables on large white paper. Color in your drawing. Cut it out with Crayola Scissors.

2. Trace your Fantastic Folded Fellow's head on construction paper. Decorate it with Twistables. Cut it out. Glue the head to the body with a Crayola Glue Stick.

3. Fold your fellow into even sections so his body fits under his head. Play with your Fantastic Folded Fellow---he's an accordion puppet!

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.

"The kids folded their creations and took them to the park. Everyone asked how to make them."

Did you know that there is a correct way to fold the U.S. flag? Here it is: Fold the striped half over the blue field. Now fold it in half again. Bring the lower striped corner to the upper edge to create a triangle. Fold the upper point in to form another triangle. Repeat until the entire length of the flag is folded. When you've folded as much as you can, there should be nothing left but blue showing. Tuck that last bit of blue into the other folds to secure it.
