supplies

crayola supplies
Washable Kid's Paint
Arts & Crafts Brushes
No-Run School Glue
Glitter Glue
Blunt-Tip Scissors
Model Magic® Fusion™

household supplies
recycled newspaper
cookie cutters
rolling pin
paper towels
modeling tools
wooden shape
container(s) of water

steps

1. Choose a holiday theme, designs, and colors to coordinate with your gift or the person receiving it. Decorate your box any way you like. Here is how we made the Christmas and Chanukah boxes in the picture.
2. Cover your craft area with newspaper. Paint a plain wooden box with Crayola® Washable Kid’s Paint and Brushes. Air-dry for about 30 minutes.
3. For a sparkly effect, squeeze Crayola Glitter Glue on top of the dried painted areas and spread out with a brush. Air-dry the glue.
4. When using a wooden shape to decorate the box lid or sides, roll out Crayola Model Magic Fusion™ compound until it is very smooth and quite thin. Lay the Fusion™ compound over the wooden piece. Use a modeling tool to trim the edges and flatten. Attach the shape to the box with Crayola School Glue.
5. If you use cookie cutter designs, roll out a slightly thicker Fusion™ slab. Carefully press the cookie cutter shape into it and remove. Lift the shape and glue it on the box.
6. Adorn the box with decorative Fusion details. Here are a few ideas. Make twisted ropes by rolling two colors into long ropes. Press the two ropes together at one end. Gently twist the two colors together. Glue the twist on your box. Roll long ropes to outline shapes. Roll balls and gently press flat for a dimensional effect. Glue your decorations to the box.
7. Model Magic Fusion dries to the touch overnight and dries completely in 2 to 3 days. Embellish your gift box with Crayola Glitter Glue. Air-dry the sparkles. Your gift box is ready to fill with goodies to delight someone!

Color Wonder™ Paper

1. Decide whether your picture frame will be a gift or for yourself. What picture will you put inside the frame? You could draw one, or ask an adult if it's OK to frame a photograph.
2. To mark the frame's four borders, firmly crease its inside edges in a piece of Crayola® Color Wonder™ Paper.

Hip-Hop Frog

Hip-Hop Frog

WHY
Hippity hop! Airbrush a speckled frog with your Color Wonder™ Sprayer, and then bend its legs so it bounces. Jump into no-mess art!
WHERE AND WHEN
My son’s fascination with frogs inspired a party that had everyone happily hopping. Besides making this easy craft, we played Leap Frog, ate gummy insects, and stuck out a lot of tongues."Chad C., father of 5- and 7-year-olds."Folding paper accordion-style adds so much dimension! Children enjoy making these extra-long appendages."Sally K., volunteer crafts aide.
INSTERING INFO
The story “Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog” helped its author, Mark Twain, gain more widespread fame. It is a funny story about a far-jumping frog named Dan’l Webster and why the frog does not perform well during a contest (check inside the frog’s mouth, Jim Smiley!).
SAFTEY GUIDELINES
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Color Wonder™—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.
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.
SUPPLIES

STEPS
1. Draw a frog body on Crayola Color Wonder Paper using a Color Wonder Marker. Extend its front legs on either side of the main body so that the "elbows" are extra long. Add details such as bulging eyes and a wide mouth.
2. On another piece of Color Wonder Paper, draw your frog’s back legs, making the "knees" extra long.
3. Follow the package directions for using your no-mess Color Wonder Sprayer. Spray your frog drawings in real or imaginary colors. Air-dry the paint.
4. Cut out your frog and its legs. Fold the elbow and knee areas accordion-style so your frog looks like it’s jumping. Glue the back legs to the body.
5. Shout "Bing-ga, bing-ga, bing!" or whatever sound your leaping frog makes as it jumps toward a lily pad.

Blooming Window Smiles

Window Markers
household supplies
dry-erase board
paper towels
water
construction paper (dark and white)
Liquitex Gloss Medium
window . Find a window in your home that can be seen by those coming to visit. Be sure the window is securely closed and locked. Ask a grown-up to help.
2. Use Crayola Window Crayons to draw face-size circles on the window.
3. TIP: To "erase" and redo any Crayola Window Crayon or Window artwork, simply wipe away with a damp paper towel then dry with another paper towel.
4. Add flower petals around each circle using Crayola Window Markers. Use your imagination to make different kinds of petals. Some ideas to try: • Draw lots of wide lines around the circle for a wildflower. • Closely- arranged, wide yellow lines will create image that looks like a sunflower. • Draw circles for a cheery flower. • Long, rounded petals look like a daisy. • To make a pansy, draw a wavy line around the circle. • A circle surrounded by long, narrow hearts makes a "love-ly" flower. • Long square-ended petals have a trendy style.
5. Fill each petal with color using Window Markers or Window Crayons. Tips to try: • Fill in the entire area with broad, solid strokes of marker color. • Dab marker dots in 2 colors. See colors blend to make a third color. • Scribbles look fun and fill in big areas quickly.
6. Remember to gather family members to peek through your Blooming Window Smiles as guests arrive!
