Sparkling Egyptian Jewelry

Why

Imagine exploring inside Egyptian tombs and famous museum displays! Create Egyptian treasures and jewelry using your Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ designs.

Steps

1. Design colorful papers with your Crayola Color Explosion Spinner! Start by making a dot on the paper with a color-reveal marker. Then follow the directions in the package to decorate several sheets with the solution. You can use them to make your own treasures and jewels.

2. Think mummies, pyramids, and King Tut! What ideas come to mind? Use Crayola Scissors to cut out shapes that remind you of ancient Egypt.

3. Create jewelry! To make a necklace or bracelet, use Crayola School Glue to attach shapes to ribbon or to a strip of Color Explosion paper. Layer smaller shapes on top of larger ones to create amulets. Glue amulets to a wide band of Color Explosion paper to make a cuff. Invent your own styles!

4. Add sparkle! Use Crayola Glitter Glue to make your jewels shine.

5. Display your treasures! Have fun with your creations. Arrange your ancient Egyptian jewelry in a box lid covered with a paper towel like you are selling it at an Egyptian bazaar. Or hide it away in a foil-wrapped box. Make a map for a friend or family member to find the treasures.

Safety Guidelines

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.

Color Explosion Spinner®— WARNING: People who are photosensitive (have had seizures induced by flashing lights and patterns) should not use this toy without first consulting a doctor. There is a possibility that photosensitivity may occur in children who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy.

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Color Explosion™ Black—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

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.

Interesting Info

Ancient Egyptian men and women wore tunics (like very long T-shirts) that were sewn to fit them. When they dressed up, both men and women used perfumes and scented oils and wore cosmetics, such as blue and green eye shadow and black kohl eyeliner. Adults also wore jewelry.
