Tyrannosaurus Thriller
Imagine the world shaking with volcano explosions! Think of the heat, creeping lava, and thunderous blasts. Create your own scene with dinosaurs running in terror.
1. Remove the top of a shoe box or similar box with Crayola® Scissors. Stand the box upright for a diorama. Lay the lid out in front of the box to enlarge the scene.
2. For the volcano backdrop of sky and mountains, create crayon rubbings using Crayola Twistables Crayons on white construction paper. Remove the wrapper from crayons and rub the sides on paper placed on rough surfaces. Trim the crayon rubbings to fit the sides of your box. With Crayola School Glue, attach the rubbings to your diorama.
3. With your LEGO® dinosaur canister as a base, build a volcano using Crayola Model Magic. Mix dark colors for the mountain and then add red, yellow, and orange Model Magic to depict molten lava streaming down the slopes. Spread apart cotton balls and place in the top of your volcano to create steam.
4. With Model Magic, construct cacti, trees, or other natural objects in the path of the flowing lava.
5. Pose your LEGO Tyrannosaurus Rex fleeing the scene in terror.
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.
