Pinch a Pot of Petals
If you’re in a pinch for an easy project, Pinch a Pot of Petals gets a big thumbs up!
1. Color white Crayola Model Magic® with color from Crayola Washable Markers. Add color and knead until you get the hue you want.
2. Smooth Model Magic into a ball. Push your thumb into the center. Turn the pot as you pinch to keep the pot walls an even thickness. Press the bottom on a flat surface so it will stand straight.
3. Mix other marker colors into more Model Magic to make pot decorations. Invent your own colors and designs, such as flower petals or vines. Damp Model Magic sticks to itself, so just press on the decorations.
4. Air-dry your pot overnight. Fill it with dried flowers, potpourri, or other delights.
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.
