Paper Shape Gift Tags

Get together for a fun family activity! Make easy, colorful gift tags to decorate your holiday packages.

1. See this idea demonstrated on Crayola CreaTiVe Workshop! Cover your craft area with newspaper. Wear a smock. Use your imagination or trace cookie cutters on paper with Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils. Cut out the shapes with the Crayola Cutter. Children 3 years and younger can tear their shapes.

2. Outline each shape with Crayola Twistables® Slick Stix™ Crayons, marking all around the edge with thick, bright color. Holding the edges down with your fingers, use a bit of paper towel to brush color toward the center of the shape.

3. Write TO and FROM messages on each tag. Punch a hole and add ribbon. You’re ready to wrap up your holiday packages.

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.

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.

"What I liked best about this project is that our 3-year-old tore out the shapes and brushed the color while our 7-year-old twins took turns with the Cutter. These tags are more than a craft--they are a fun memory of time together. "
Kristin B., mother of ages 3 and 7.

"We used these as decorations! We displayed one tag in each pane of our living room windows. They looked so colorful. "
Tamara J., mother of ages 11, 9, and 6.

Kennedy Space Center in Florida has granted official runway access in its shuttle-landing facility for Santa Claus and his reindeer on Christmas Eve. This agreement with the North Pole has been in effect since the 1970s.
