Imaginary Friend
A handcrafted buddy is a source of comfort and creativity. Children create their own fantasy worlds with their personal imaginary friend.
1. Use Crayola® Crayons and Washable Markers to drawn an imaginary friend's face and head on a paper bag. Draw hair, teeth, eyes, or other features. OR cut out facial features from construction paper. Glue on the bag with Crayola School Glue. Dry.
2. Fill the bag with loosely scrunched-up newspaper. With yarn, tie the bag closed over one end of a cardboard tube.
3. Decorate the tube with crayons and markers.
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.
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.
