Sugar Skulls for Dia de los Muertos
Celebrate Mexico’s Day of the Dead by making your very own replicas of sugar skulls!
1. Crumple up a large ball of aluminum foil for the base of each skull. With your fingers, press in nose holes and eye sockets.
2. Roll a large ball of white Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ modeling compound into a flat sheet. Completely cover your aluminum foil with the Fusion, blending in the edges with your fingers.
3. Pick your favorite colors of Squeezables™ 3-D paint to color in the eye sockets, nose holes, and outlines for the teeth. Complete your sugar skull by adding embellishments such as dots and swirls. Fusion dries to the touch overnight and dries complete in 2 or 3 days. Display your sugar skull where everyone can enjoy this popular tradition.
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.
