Presto Dots Submarine
Pretend to travel to the bottom of the sea with a Crayola® Model Magic® Presto Dots™ submarine you can build yourself! Take your sub on adventures under the kitchen table and into new unexplored regions of your imagination.
1. Ask an adult to help you find an old toy truck or car with wheels. Roll up recycled newspaper into balls and tape onto the truck or car with masking tape to make the shape of the vehicle long and rounded like the body of a submarine. Tape a small ball of newspaper or a small paper cup to the top of the submarine body for the periscope tower. A grown-up can help.
2. Pat red Model Magic smooth and flat. Spread it over the entire submarine body (not on the wheels). Lift it and pinch it closed until the entire shape is covered.
3. Form windows for the sides of the submarine. For each window: ? Roll a ball of red Model Magic. ? Press the ball onto the side of the submarine so it flattens. Model Magic that is fresh from the pack will stick to itself. ? Roll a thin "snake" of blue Model Magic. ? Use Crayola Scissors or a plastic knife to cut a piece of the snake to fit around the red window. Press in place.
4. Create a propeller outlet for the back of the submarine using the same technique you used to create windows, only larger.
5. Construct the periscopes. Roll a thick red snake. Cut into two pieces. Bend each piece. Press the ends onto the top of the periscope tower. Roll a snake of blue Model Magic. Cut a piece of snake to fit around the end of each periscope.
6. Now have some fun with the Presto Dots Tool! Roll out a flat, even layer of yellow Model Magic.
7. Push the Dot 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 Dot Tool on the Model Magic layer and pull the tool away to release the dot. Presto! The dot should come right out and stick to the surface.
9. Repeat the Dot Tool steps, pressing yellow dots around the windows, on the tower, and all around the top half of the submarine body. Repeat the Dot Tool steps, pressing red dots around the bottom half of the submarine body. 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.
