Presto Dots Poodle
Ooh-la-la! Craft a Parisian-inspired pooch with Model Magic® Presto Dots and your creative flair.
1. Let’s get to the bare bones of the project! Create a base for your poodle by gently pushing two foam balls onto either end of a short wooden dowel stick. When the foam balls have been connected, you should not be able to see the dowel. This will be the head and body of the poodle.
2. Sit! Press in additional dowel stick pieces into the poodle’s body to create legs and a tail. Make a small ball of white Model Magic and press the bottom of the legs into the ball. This will allow the poodle to "sit" in place.
3. Roll over! Press or roll a smooth layer of white Model Magic large enough to cover the head of the poodle. Press the Model Magic firmly around the head. Press or roll a smooth layer of white Model Magic large enough to cover the body of the poodle. Press the Model Magic firmly around the body. Smooth out any gaps so the base is completely covered. Use additional pieces of Model Magic to cover the dowels for the legs and tail.
4. Add some dots. Roll out another layer of white Model Magic. Push the Presto Dots tool down into the Model Magic. When the tool can’t go any further, give your wrist a twist, tilt the tool back, and pull it up. Tap the bottom of the tool gently on the body of the poodle and pull your hand away to release the dot. The dot will stick to the surface. Repeat this process until you have decorated the poodle with dots.
5. Pretty up the pooch! Use additional bits of Model Magic to make eyes, a nose, collar and other details make your poodle the talk of the town! Allow the Model Magic to air dry.

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.
