Why

Mark your space! Personalize your bedroom door or desk! Create this colorful sign with Crayola® Changeables™.

Steps

1. What message would you like people to read before they enter your room? Maybe you want them to come right in, to knock - or to keep out. Decide what you'd like your sign to say.

2. To begin your sign, fold construction paper in half the long way. Open it up and cut it on the fold with Crayola Total Tools™ Ultimate Cutter™.

3. Use Crayola Changeables Markers to create a colorful pattern on the paper. Then use the Changeables Wand to write your message over the color background. Be sure to use big, bold letters for your sign. Colors will change like magic!

4. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to attach your sign to colorful construction paper. Trim the border close to your sign.

5. Glue the sign with the border to more construction paper. Cut a second decorative border for your sign.

6. Attach the sign to your door with masking-tape donuts or a string. If you use a string, punch two holes in the top of your sign before you tie it in place.

Safety Guidelines

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.
