Don't Endanger Our World
Identify and label endangered and protected species on a large 3-D paper maché globe of the earth.
1. Study a globe and world maps to locate continents and oceans. Find a list of endangered species that indicates where the animals or plants live on Earth.
2. To make a paper maché globe that locates endangered species, tear recycled newspaper into strips approximately 1 by 4 inches (3 x 10 cm). Crumple recycled newspaper into a large ball.
3. Cover a table top with recycled newspaper. Mix Crayola® School Glue with an equal part of water in a shallow bowl. Dip newspaper strips into the glue, then smooth onto the crumpled ball. Layer strips to cover the entire ball. Secure a string beneath layers of paper maché for hanging. Dry completely, which usually takes at least a day.
4. Paint the paper-maché globe with Crayola Tempera Paints and Brushes. Place continents and oceans in the correct places and in their relative sizes. Dry.
5. Cut small paper flags with Crayola Scissors. Draw a picture of an endangered animal or plant on each flag with Crayola Fine Tip Markers. Use a Crayola School Glue to attach the drawings to toothpicks.
6. Push the toothpick flags of endangered species into the correct locations on the globe.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Small Parts—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.
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.
Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
