My Monster Power Cards
Hobbies are a great way for kids to explore their interests and talents. Young collectors are fascinated with their own imaginary monsters.
1. Fold white paper into quarters. In each quarter, draw imaginary monsters with Crayola® Colored Pencils. Fill in darker lines and areas with Crayola Fine Line Markers.
2. Write the name each monster. Make up a number rating system for the different monsters' powers, and mark these on the cards.
3. Photocopy the cards and color them with colored pencils.
4. Fold construction paper in quarters to make a backing for the cards. (For even sturdier cards, use recycled file folders.)
5. Glue cards onto backings with a Crayola Glue Stick. With Crayola Scissors, cut the drawings and backings along the fold lines.
6. Make up a game with your cards to play with friends. Decorate a recycled cardboard box to hold cards. Trade cards, too.
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.
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.
