Nasal Nuggets

Why

What's that coming out of your nose? This gross project is for kids who really like to pick their noses-oops-art!


Steps

1. Think of all the possible colors and textures of mucus that come out of noses. Blood is smooth and red. Snot can be yellow or gold, even lumpy green or brown! What are some other disgusting nasal discharges?

2. Mix white Crayola® Model Magic® with color from Crayola Washable Markers to make gross nasal discharge. Be creative!

3. Shape your Nasal Nuggets into chunks, globs, or pools. Dry.

4. What a great way to trick people-yuck! Fill up a tissue! Wear your art on your sleeve for dramatic effect!
