Sail With the Vikings!
Sail into your own adventures! Explore the high seas on a Viking ship--with beasts at bow and stern.
1. Vikings made huge ships that had heavy armor and ornate designs. Many Viking ships had carved images of sea creatures or other mythical beasts at their bow (front) and stern (back).
2. Use Crayola® Scissors to cut the top of an empty tissue box so the panels that will become the front and back are only connected on the short sides of the box. Fold these short sides slightly, so there is a crease in the hinged (top) piece. This will be the highest point of your boat (on each end).
3. Cut a long arc from the center top of the end to a low point, half-way down the long side of your box. Then cut back up to the top of the other end. Repeat on the other side of your ship.
4. Punch several oar holes in each long side of your ship, near the bottom. Poke bamboo skewers or dowels in the holes for oars. Create oar blades by forming flat ovals with Crayola Model Magic. Press oars into the blades. Secure with Crayola School Glue.
5. Use a skewer or dowel for the center mast. Cut another skewer in half. Tie this crosspiece across the mast with string. Create a base for the mast with Model Magic®. Glue the base to the center of the ship's floor. Glue the mast into the base.
6. Shape a mythical beast's head and tail with Model Magic. Glue them to the bow and stern.
7. Cover a table with recycled newspaper. Paint your ship and/or beast with Crayola Washable Kid's Paint and Paint Brushes. Dry.
8. Facial tissues are perfect to make your Viking ship sail! Draw marker images on your sail. Tie the top two corners of the sail to the ends of your crosspiece with string. Tie the bottom corners to your ship.
9. Add shields and other decorations. Cut the bottoms from paper cups for shields, for example, and glue to your ship's sides. Cut construction paper flags for the mast. Decorate with Crayola Markers or Gel Markers and Crayola Glitter Glue. Add craft items such as buttons and feathers. Glue in place. Dry. Enjoy your imaginary adventures on the high seas!
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.
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.
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.
Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
