Give a Puzzled Heart
Create your own colorful message in a puzzle for someone you love to put together! Decorate an envelope for storage and delivery, too!
1. To make heart stencils, fold plain paper in half. Along the folded edge cut out hearts in different sizes.
2. Lay one heart on your Crayola Color Explosion™ paper. Trace around it with the marker. Repeat with other hearts to create your basic puzzle patterns. Fill in the hearts with fun dots, lines, flowers, vines, or whatever you’d like! Even simple shapes look spectacular with the surprise colors!
3. With Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils, write a loving or fun message on the back of the paper. Divide the sheet into puzzle shapes with curvy lines and interlocking ovals. Carefully cut along these lines. Erase any extra marks.
4. Decorate an envelope in which to give and store the puzzle. Use ribbons that match the bright colors in the Color Explosion paper. Cut out small Color Explosion hearts. Use Crayola School Glue to attach them to the ribbon ends. On the front of the envelope, write the name of the person who will receive this neat gift!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Color Explosion™ Black—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.
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.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
