My First Sparkling Crown
Royalty rules! Be the king or queen of your castle. Make a sparkling crown to wear to let everyone know you are a royal family.
1. Fold and tear Crayola Color Wonder™ Paper to form a strip about 16 inches (41 cm) long and 3 inches (8 cm) high to make a crown that fits around your head. Add points to your crown by tearing triangles. Glue points onto crown with Crayola School Glue. Make sure that the printed words on the paper face inside the crown.
2. Lay your crown flat. Decorate it with Color Wonder Glitter Paint. To write words on your crown, use a white Crayola Triangular Crayon. Paint over the letters and watch them appear.
3. Tear jewel-shape pieces, paint them, and glue to your crown. For a textured effect, crumple and paint torn pieces and glue them on. Dab the brushes on your crown for a polka dot rippled design. Add squiggles or stripes. Try combining colors to add a regal look.
4. For extra sparkle, glue on craft sequins, jewels, or beads. Tie on a bow of tulle or ribbon if you wish. With an adult’s help, glue your crown in a size to fit your head. Air-dry before wearing.
5. Wow! You really look like the king or queen of your kingdom!
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.
Costumes & Masks—
CAUTION: When children wear hand-crafted costumes and masks, make sure the crafts do not obstruct the child’s vision, hearing, or impede movement. Do not use feathers, fabric, or raffia on wearable costumes and masks because these items do not pass costume flammability tests. Wearable masks are those held in place on the face with elastic, yarn, or other materials. Keep away from open flames.
Adult Assistance is required for this arts & crafts project.
Color Wonder™—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.
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.
