Step One:

Open the Model Magic and let your preschooler mold it around the car, being sure not to cover the wheels or underside. Once that is done, you can add details such as big eyes or some legs if you want.

Step Two:
Let it dry, minimum 24 hours. Longer if needed.

Step Three:
Once it has dried, use Markers to “paint” your bug. Add some antena if you want. Now, let the races begin!

Variations

You can transform the little racecars into just about any creature you can imagine. How about mice, farm animals, or even decorative race cars?
