Lunch-Money Pocket

Why

Carry your lunch money in style! Use Crayola® Twistables to decorate your envelope.

Steps

1. Use Crayola Twistables to decorate a small clasp envelope. You may want to add your name and label it as your lunch money. Leave a border, blank space, or a side for important reminders.

2. Use the empty space to keep track of menu choices, days you want to pack, and other notes.

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.
