Tie-Dye Treat Cups
Kids create their own colorful, mess-free tie-dye treat cups at a family picnic or birthday party.
1. Cover your work area with newspaper or work on a paper plate. Fold a coffee filter in half. Use Crayola® Markers to make colorful designs on the coffee filter. Move the marker slowly so the dye seeps through the back side.
2. Unfold the filter. Spray with water. Cover wet filter with a dry paper towel and gently press to blot excess water. Dry.
3. Place dry filter on top of a paper cup. Use Crayola Scissors to cut ribbon to tie around the cup. If you are age 3 or younger, ask an adult to cut the ribbon. Ask a partner to hold the tie-dye filter as you tie the ribbon in place.
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.
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.
