Why

Make your own action figures with Model Magic! Show your best karate moves. Invent exciting self-defence scenes.

Steps

1. People of Asia used martial arts on the battlefield for thousands of years. Karate means empthy hand and it relies on high-energy punches, strikes, and kicks using only the fighter's body. Karate has a colour-coded system of graded levels of competency (belts) starting with white, the yellow, orange, green and purple for beginners. Brown and black belts are signs of karate masters. Watch people practice karate. Notice how their bodies look when they get ready, kick and do other moves.

2. To form your black belt board breaker, sculpt white crayola model magic into an appropriate body stance. Knead in the colour from Crayola washable markers to makeskin hair and belt colours.

3. Make a practice partner in responding posture with more model magic.

4. Place a toothpick or craft stick in the kicking partner's hand for the board to break. Air-dry both figures.

5. On thick cardboard, colour a workout room floor with felt tips. You could illustrate the belt colours to inspire novices to earn their belts. If you wish, use the glue to attach the karate figures to the cardboard. Dry before displaying.

Safety Guidlines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Crayola Model Magic

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.
  Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
