Twisted Tongues
Tongue twisters fall trippingly from your tongue with this Crayola® Twistables™ tongue twister project.
1. Do you enjoy tongue twisters? Make a Crayola Model Magic tongue sculpture to show off your favorites.
2. Mix white Model Magic with color from Crayola Washable Markers. Keep adding color and kneading until the tongue is really pink! Shape the modeling compound into a large tongue shape.
3. Flatten small balls of the modeling compound for teeth. Tap the bottom edge of each tooth on a table to make one end flat. Place teeth on top of the tongue.
4. Roll two Model Magic lips. Shape the upper lip by pressing your finger into the center of the roll. Texture it with plastic dinnerware. Press the upper lip in place, slightly over the teeth. Repeat for a bottom lip.
5. Create a flat triangle of Model Magic to attach to the back of your tongue sculpture. Attach this wedge out of sight behind the lips. You will place a heavy object on this wedge to keep the tongue in place when it has dried.
6. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out several long strips of colored construction paper. With Crayola Twistables, write your favorite tongue twisters on the strips. Roll each strip around a Twistables barrel. Unwind slightly.
7. Glue the ends of the tongue-twister strips to your tongue sculpture with Crayola School Glue. Let them cascade from your tongue. Dry.
8. Set your sculpture on the edge of a shelf or table. Put a small, heavy object on the wedge in back to hold it 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.
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.
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.
