Imaginary Martians

When it comes to creatures on the Red Planet, the sky's the limit. Kids can design things that might live on Mars - and could only spring from their imaginations.

1. Imagine what creatures that live on Mars might look like. Would they have arms and legs? Heads? Or be shaped unlike anything you've seen? Model an imaginary body shape with Crayola® Model Magic®. Use a craft stick to carve and trim the modeling compound.

2. Decorate your Imaginary Martian with Crayola Washable Markers. Add feathers, beads, yarn, or other decorative items for added effects. Dry.

3. Apply Crayola Glitter Glue to enhance your eerie creature.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"The kids made these creatures for a space environment project. Each one was so colorful and creative."
Kyung S., after-school club advisor.

"Our summer day camp theme was the universe. Imaginary Martians were one of the campers' most-asked-for crafts."
Emilie D., junior counselor.

At night, Mars appears red as it reflects light from the sun. That's why it's called the red planet. The ancient Romans gave the planet his name - Mars.
