Smooth & Slick File Cover

Personalize your file folders—one for every subject or report—with bold colors. You deserve extra credit for being so organized!

1. The strong, smooth colors of Crayola® Slick Stix™ are great for layering! You can scratch through them to the layers below (try a craft stick) or just enjoy the multi-level effects. You can also draw really rich, bold illustrations and mix colors. Experiment!

2. Decorate file folders to hold your schoolwork. Use Slick Stix to illustrate the subjects you are studying. Have fun seeing what your slippery, slide-y, smooth Slick Stix can do!

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.

"The kids used Slick Stix to decorate file folders right before school started. It gave them a good jump on organizing their homework."
Jim T., teenaged babysitter.

"My boys created folders to help me organize my office. I love them…and having my kids’ art close at hand while I work."
Heather J., mom of ages 9 and 11.

If you are using your file folders to organize information, you may want to alphabetize them. Add titles on the tabs that identify the contents, then arrange them in alphabetical order. Did you know that the letter A originated with the Egyptian symbol for a bird? It was called alef and looked like a bird drawing. The alef was later transformed into the Semitic aleph, the Greek alpha, and then the letter A.
