Your Name in Lights

Encourage your younger shining stars to learn their names. Older ones use the bright name plates as personalized bedroom door-hangers.

1. On a piece of paper, write your name lightly in large letters. An adult can help younger children do this.

2. Use Crayola® Colored Pencils to color in the letters with bright colors and patterns. Make every letter a different color or design if you want.

3. Use Crayola Glitter Glue to outline your name sign with a dazzling border.

4. After the glue has dried, you may wish to use Crayola Scissors to cut your name sign out around the glue border. Attach yarn to hang glittery name sign where the light shines on it to get the most sparkle.

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.

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

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.
