Presto Dots Pop-Corn
Making popcorn can be buckets of fun with easy-to-use Presto Dots! Just press, pop, and presto- you’ve got a work of art that will outlast any movie.
1. From recycled cardboard, carefully cut 4 rectangles, each about the size and shape of a letter envelope.
2. Join the edges of the 4 rectangles together with Crayola No-Run School Glue to form the tall, thin shape of a popcorn bucket. *Tip- Use strips of adhesive tape to hold the sides of the bucket together while the glue dries.
3. Gently cover the popcorn bucket with a thin layer of Model Magic® by pushing and spreading the modeling compound with your fingers. Model Magic that is fresh from the pack will stick to itself. Dried pieces can be glued together.
4. Flatten a small amount of Model Magic to be about as thick as your fingers. Be sure to tightly cover the remaining Model Magic in the container to prevent it from drying.
5. Press one of the Presto Dots tools* firmly into the flattened Model Magic. Lift the tool, and press gently onto the popcorn bucket. The Model Magic inside the tool will stick to the bucket and form a dot! Repeat until your popcorn bucket is completely covered with dots. Be creative! Use different colors and shapes to decorate your bucket! (*Note: Some Presto Dots packs have multiple tools and accessories for a variety of shapes and impressions.)
6. To make popcorn, roll a small amount of Model Magic into a ball that is about the size of your fingernail. Mix together yellow and white Model Magic to make swirling ribbons of color. Flatten and press with the Presto Dots circle tool. Stick 3 or 4 of these dots around the small ball to create buttery-looking popcorn! Continue making popcorn to fill your bucket!
7. With extra Model Magic, design decorations for your popcorn bucket.
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.
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.
Food-Related Crafts—Art materials should not be used on food, if these foods are intended to be eaten. Art materials should not be used to make or decorate containers intended to hold edible food if the food would be in contact with the art material.
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.
