Ribbon Roller Coaster
Hold on for a thrilling ride through your children's inventive minds. Kids observe details, evaluate processes, and make decisions as they create their very own roller coasters.
1. Using Crayola® School Glue, glue construction paper to cardboard that is large enough to hold your amusement park ride.
2. Think about what makes a good roller coaster. Height? Curves and twists? Speed? Plunges? Check with friends and information resources to help you design your coaster. Invent new rides or model yours after a favorite park.
3. With Crayola Scissors, cut wide ribbon long enough to make your ride. Loop and bend the ribbon in your roller coaster's design. Use Crayola Crayons to create the ride's structure and hold the ribbon in the air. Attach the ribbon, structure, and base with Crayola School Glue.
4. Use Crayola Washable Markers and Crayola Glitter Glue to create the rest of your amusement park: benches, refreshment stands, people, and other details.
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.
Glitter Glue—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
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.
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.
