Stick to Our Resolutions
How would you really react in a new or challenging situation? Create a useful tool that helps you and your classmates think about how to handle real-life dilemmas.
1. With a Crayola Marker, draw a human silhouette on posterboard. Cut it out with Crayola Scissors.
2. On one side of a full sheet of posterboard, trace around the silhouette. Flip over the silhouette so it faces the first one and trace around it. Fill the silhouettes and background with marker color. Some techniques to try: Follow the facial contours and keep following these lines.
3. Create matching relief shapes (flat on the back) with Crayola Model Magic®. Add accent colors on top with bits of Model Magic. Air-dry the shapes overnight.
4. Cut several cards from posterboard. Color one side to match your poster background. Use Crayola Fine Line Markers to write a situation that you would like to discuss on each card. It could be an ethical dilemma, a question about good manners, or any event with several possible solutions. You might have been involved in something similar, or can imagine it happening to you.
5. Attach the card with hook and loop fastener tape between the two faces. Use Crayola School Glue to attach the Model Magic shapes on the poster.
6. Brainstorm with your classmates about the best way to handle each of the situations you identified. Role play several solutions to see how they work in real life. You’ll be prepared to stick to your resolutions if the situation comes up!
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.
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.
- Take the poster home. Suggest that your family create its own cards for discussion.
- Write personal responses in your journal.
- Create one-act plays about how they think your peers might react to the situation on a card.
- Assessment: Students will be successful if they are able to complete a conversation about the topic provided. They take turns, practice good listening skills, and express themselves so others understand their meaning.
