CIY Staff Tips:

Steps:

1

Flatten Crayola® Model Magic® with a rolling pin or the palm of your hand, forming a pancake-like shape.

2

Gently press your hand evenly and firmly in the center of the flattened pancake to create your handprint.

3

Carefully carve the date and your name in the moist modeling material using a toothpick.

4

Poke a hole in the Model Magic while it's still moist, using a drinking straw, toothpick, or open paper clip. After the modeling material is dry, string a colourful ribbon or yarn through this hole and tie for hanging.

5

Optional: Add colour or designs with Crayola Washable Kid's Paint or Crayola Washable Markers when the Model Magic is dry.
