Turkey Centerpiece
Children gobble up the fun making these festive Model Magic® turkeys. Trot out these creations to use as centerpieces, name card holders, or holiday favors.
1. Using Crayola Model Magic, form a plump turkey body. Etch marks with a plastic knife to resemble feathers.
2. Roll out finger-shaped tubes of Model Magic. Attach these as feathers and the neck by pinching the modeling compound together.
3. Use Model Magic to form the head and attach it to the neck of the turkey.
4. Use yellow Model Magic to form the beak and feet and attach them to turkey. If you don't have yellow you can use any other color of Model Magic and then paint the beak and feet yellow after attaching them to the turkey.
5. Make a red wattle and attach.
6. Add two, small black dots for eyes.
7. You can make your turkey any color you want with paints or markers. Allow turkey to dry overnight before applying colors.
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.
Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—
- Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
- Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
- Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
- The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
- Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
- Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient.
- Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Modeling Tools—Use the least dangerous point or edge sufficient to do the job. For example, craft sticks, plastic knives and forks, and cookie cutters can cut or carve modeling materials.
