Fill a Frame With Fun!
Decorate and fill a picture frame with fun designs, even your own face! Use Crayola Model Magic®, Gel Markers, and Squeezables™ 3-D Paint to create a colorful, unique gift.
1. You can make any design you like inside your wooden picture frame! Here’s how to create a face. Look closely at the shape of your face. Use your fingers to feel your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and eyebrows. Make different expressions. Smile big! Frown, gasp in surprise, look silly, scary, and excited. Notice how parts of your face change.
2. Use colorful Crayola Model Magic® and your imagination to fill a wood frame with a 3-D portrait! Roll Model Magic into a slab about the size of the inside of the frame. Use Crayola Scissors to cut the modeling compound into a shape similar to your face, large enough to fill the space.
3. To make eyes, nose, and ears, use your fingers to form Model Magic. Press each feature on the face. Model Magic fresh from the pack sticks to itself!
4. Roll a snake of Model Magic. Cut two pieces to make lips. Arrange them on the face to show your expression. Flatten Model Magic and cut teeth to press between your lips.
5. Roll another snake of Model Magic. Cut two pieces to make eyebrows. Arrange them on the face with expression. Design hair. Flatten and cut hair pieces, or roll very thin snakes to coil, wave, and attach. Add Model Magic around the face to fill the entire frame.
6. Use Crayola Gel Markers to design the frame. Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paints provide the finishing touches that make your frame and your portrait fabulous! Add color to your hair, eyes, and smile. Add freckles and dimples to your cheeks! Outline and fill in designs on the frame with colors! Air-dry your frame overnight.
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.

Mirrors, Picture Frames, and Plant Pots—Close adult supervision is required when children use craft materials that could shatter or break. Handheld mirrors, picture frames with glass, ceramic pots, and similar breakable items may be used only by children 8 years and older. For children 7 years and younger, use unbreakable materials such as wood or sturdy plastic picture frames, unbreakable mirrors, and plant pots that will not shatter into sharp edges.
Modeling Tools—Use the least dangerous point or edge sufficient to do the job. For example, craft sticks, plastic knives and forks, and cookie cutters can cut or carve modeling materials.
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.
