Oh Gross!
What's the grossest thing your kids can imagine? With Oh Gross! they'll build on their silly jokes-and dish up something disgusting!
1. Think of something really gross. You might start with jokes that make you want to giggle and gag. Or come up with a fun, disgusting idea in your imagination. Dog vomit is a possibility. What did the dog eat? Bones? Hair? Does the dog have worms? Or are maggots crawling in the vomit? You decide!
2. Use Crayola® Model Magic® to create a model of your gross idea. Is the object chunky or smooth? Are the colors revolting or real? Is the item recognizable or not? Go for gross!
3. Select craft items that add realism to your creation. You might want to add cotton balls, craft feathers, grass, yarn, or anything that adds to the fun. Poke items into the soft Model Magic or glue things on with Crayola School Glue. Dry.
4. Cover your work surface with recycled newspaper. Paint your creation with Crayola Washable Kid's Paint and Crayola Paint Brushes. Marble or mix paint to get gross, unappealing colors. Dry.
5. You're set for April Fools' Day or Halloween!
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.
Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—
- Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
- Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
- Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
- The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
- Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
- Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient.
- Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.
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.
