Equipment

  • Pencil
  • Toothpick
  • Small Paint Brushes

Supplies

Instructions

  • Have children draw at least 3 sketches of what they would like to create a sculpture of.
  • Each child will need a 1-ounce pack of model magic and a toothpick.
  • Open the package so that the silver part is completely open and use a sharpie to write their name.
  • Build a food sculpture of their choice. Encourage kids to only make 1-3 items out of the pack. If they end up making more, the sculptures are too small.
  • Use the toothpick to help add texture or sculpt their small model magic sculpture.
  • Let dry overnight.
  • Use a watercolor paint palette or tempera paint and a small brush to paint the sculpture.
  • Design plate with a sharpie. See directions on how to help make radial designs on the plate above.
  • Use hot glue or Glue-All to attach the food sculpture to the plate.

Notes

  • You can spray sculptures (before attaching them to the plate) with Mod Podge Clear Coat for extra shine and protection.
  • If you are doing this with younger children, I would let them design the plate however they want in black and white. You can still encourage them to create variety by coloring in and around the shapes.
