Holiday Pie Placecard Holders
Spice up any holiday table with pretend pie placecard holders for your guests. Make apple for Mother’s Day, pumpkin for Thanksgiving, or cherry for Presidents’ Day!
1. Plan ahead! Start your placecard holders a least a week before your event. Use a recycled tart tin for each pretend pie you create.
2. On a plastic placemat, roll Crayola Air-Dry Clay into a circle slightly bigger than the tart tin. This will be your pretend "pie crust." Turn the tin upside down on the clay. Use a craft stick to cut a circle slightly larger than your tin. Turn the tin right side up.
3. Press the clay inside the tin. With water and your fingers, pinch the edges. Use a craft stick to carve designs in the crust. Make a slit for the place card. Air-dry the clay for about 3 days.
4. Cover your craft area with recycled newspaper. Take the pretend crust out of the tin. Turn it over. Use Crayola Washable Kid’s Paint to add color to the top. Air-dry the paint.
5. Cut out construction paper name cards for each guest. Decorate cards with names and fun fall designs using Crayola Markers.
6. Your friends and family will be delighted with your creative holiday welcome!
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. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Recycled Containers—Must be clean and safe. Do not use containers that contained bleach or other harmful chemicals (for example, household cleaners, dishwasher or laundry detergents). Do not use recycled metal cans that have sharp edges (for example, lids removed by household can openers).
