Morph Your Mom or Friends!

Why

Imagine morphing your favorite rock star, a friend, or even yourself! April Fool’s Day isn’t the only day to be silly.

Steps

1. Choose a photo portrait of anyone (even a pet!) that you would like to have some fun with. Find a few pictures in magazines that have too-big heads, too-little arms, or other silly features.

2. Follow the directions with your Crayola Cutter. Cut out a few features from magazine pictures. With a Crayola Glue Stick, attach them on the original portrait.

3. Cut colorful papers into more decorations, such as a fuzzy mustache or wild hairdo. Add them to your original photo as well. Your picture can be as weird as you want!

4. Cut a larger paper into a frame for your morphed portrait. It’s easy to make inside cuts with your Cutter! Cut out designs and pop-ups in the frame, too, to give it a fancy look! Glue your picture to the back of the frame. Air-dry the glue before you display the funny image!

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.
