Moon Rock Pencil Cup

Why

For holding Crayola® Colored Pencils, nothing outshines a handmade Moon Rock Pencil Cup crafted with dried Crayola Model Magic. Kids put their art talents and enthusiasm for saving the planet to creative uses.


Steps

1. Roll pieces of Model Magic and let it air-dry for several hours.

2. Cut construction paper with Crayola Scissors to fit over a recycled plastic container. Glue the seam with Crayola School Glue.

3. Tear off pieces of dried Crayola Model Magic. Glue them around the juice can. If the chunks are large, lay the can on its side and glue on a few at a time. When they are dry, turn the can and glue on more pieces of Model Magic.

4. Spread newspaper over the work area. When the glue is dry, paint the Model Magic with Crayola Washable Tempera Paint and Brushes.

5. After the paint dries, brush on some shine with a glaze of equal parts water and glue.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough With Small Parts— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—

  • 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.
  • If the arts & crafts project involves making small objects, follow the small parts/choking hazards standards: WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years."
  • 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.
