Cruise Icebergs & Islands
Imagine gliding past lush tropical islands, dramatic glaciers, or crystal clear ice floes! Get ready to cruise the Caribbean, Alaska’s Inside Passage, or another intriguing destination.
1. Cruise ships are like floating cities. Ocean liners employ as many as 1,500 chefs, DJs, lifeguards, magicians, doctors, photographers, housekeepers, and wait staff. Find out more about how these magnificent ships are built and operate. Choose a destination and design a breathtaking scene along the way, such as Alaska’s Inside Passage.
2. Build your ship. Form a multi-decked cruise ship with white Crayola Model Magic®. Mix color from Crayola Washable Markers into the modeling compound to add colorful details. Cut out other ship details, such as a radar scope, from recycled file folders using Crayola Scissors. Color and insert in your ship.
3. Create the background. Cover your art area with newspaper. Create the ocean on construction paper with Crayola Washable Watercolors and a Watercolor Brush. After you finish painting, mix equal amounts of Crayola School Glue and water. Wash the watercolors with this mixture to make the water shine. Air-dry your ocean. Glue it to a cardboard base.
4. Depending on your destination, create islands, beaches, mountains, cities, or other scenery. For Alaska’s Inside Passage, you might paint purple, blue, and gray mountains on recycled file folders. Air-dry the mountains. Cut them out and fold a tab at the bottom so they will stand up.
5. Add scenic details. Sculpt realistic-looking chunks of melting ice, snow, and glaciers with white Model Magic. Create sea animals or other sights if you wish. Air-dry everything overnight. Glue your scene together for a magnificent display! Explain what you learned to your classmates and families.
