Moon Walkin' Mat
What a winning combination-movement, make-believe, and a trip to the moon! Make moon stompers before the party, and create the mat with guests.
1. Use plastic coffee cans and CLOSELY SUPERVISE CHILDREN AS THEY PLAY. Make one or more sets of moon stompers before your party. Roll a large, empty plastic coffee can along the edge of poster board. Mark the inside edge and length with Crayola® Metallic FX Crayons. Cut out two matching pieces with Crayola Scissors.
2. Use crayons to decorate both pieces with stars, rockets, and astronauts.
3. Cover two plastic coffee cans with decorated paper, attaching it with Crayola School Glue. Add special effects with Crayola Glitter Glue. Dry.
4. Ask an adult to punch holes on opposite sides of each can near the closed end. Cut strong ribbon long enough to reach from the can to the moon walker's hand level and back through the can. Thread ribbon through holes and tie secure knots.
5. On party day, guests design a Moon Walkin' Mat on poster board. (Craft paper on a roll also works.) Use Crayola Washable Markers to trace around the bottoms of the plastic coffee cans. Arrange circles in a path for moon walkers to follow. Draw a cool moonscape around the circles by coloring open areas with marker and crayon.
6. Wear moon stompers to walk on the moon, traveling from circle to circle.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Glitter Glue—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
Adult Assistance is required for this arts & crafts project.
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).
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.
