Sizzlin' Sports Board

Why

Kids race to create these miniature sports boards that develop fine motor and observation skills. They flex their fingers and brains by creating a park with slopes, ramps, tunnels, and bridges out of recycled materials.


Steps

1. Use Crayola® Washable Markers to design snowboards or skateboards on wide craft sticks.

2. Add Crayola Glitter Glue to highlight your designs. Dry.

3. To create wheels for a skateboard, attach recycled Crayola Crayon pieces, beads, or small plastic juice bottle caps with Crayola School Glue. Dry overnight.
