Presto Dots Airplane
Fly from your sunny backyard to the wildest jungles of your imagination! Build a colorful Crayola® Model Magic® Presto Dots™ airplane to take you there.
1. Ask an adult to help you find an old toy truck or car and remove the back wheels.
2. Crumple small balls of newspaper and tape onto the truck or car with masking tape. A grown-up can help. Shape the vehicle to look more like an airplane. The front should have be rounded. A long body extends and thins out toward the back end.
3. Create wings and tail pieces for the plane. Ask a grown-up to help you draw and cut out two large wings and two smaller wings from recycled cardboard. Cut out two triangular vertical tail pieces – known as stabilizers. Tape firmly onto the vehicle with masking tape. The larger wings go on the sides of the plane body. The smaller wings go on the tail of the plane. One vertical stabilizer can go on the top of the body. The other can go on the top of the tail.
4. Pat orange Model Magic smooth and flat. Spread it over the entire airplane body, except for the large wings, smaller wings, stabilizers, and wheels.
5. Pat blue Model Magic smooth and flat. Spread it over the wings and stabilizers.
6. Now have some fun with the Presto Dots Star Tool!* Roll out a flat, even layer of blue Model Magic. (*Note: Some Presto Dots packs have multiple tools and accessories such as the Star Tool for a variety of shapes and impressions.)
7. Push the Star Tool straight down to the bottom of the layer. Then give the tool a twist, tilt it back and pull it out.
8. Press the bottom of the Star Tool on the orange Model Magic layer on front of the airplane where the cockpit window would be. Pull the tool away to release the star. Presto! The star should come right out and stick to the surface. Repeat with 3 or 4 more blue stars across the cockpit window.
9. Press 3 red stars below the cockpit window to create a kind of airplane smile design.
10. Repeat the Star Tool steps, pressing orange stars onto the airplane body and blue stars on the wings and stabilizers. Let dry.
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.
Adult Assistance is required for this arts & crafts project.
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.
Modeling Tools—Use the least dangerous point or edge sufficient to do the job. For example, craft sticks, plastic knives and forks, and cookie cutters can cut or carve modeling materials.
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.
