Presto Dots Ice Cream Cone
2. Carefully cut a piece of a recycled cardboard roll to be about the length of your open hand. Use Crayola No-Run School Glue to attach the bottom of a small plastic container, like a recycled fruit cup, to the top of the cardboard roll to form the shape of a cone! Allow the glue to air-dry, and then cover the cone using a thin layer of Model Magic.
3. Stack the scoops on top of each other, and firmly attach to the cone. You may wish to secure the scoops in place with glue.
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 ice cream scoop. The Model Magic inside the tool will stick to the scoop and form a dot! Repeat until every scoop and the cone are completely covered with dots. Be creative! Use different colors, shapes, and patterns to decorate the ice cream cone. You can even swirl together different colors or blend them completely to make new colors!

6. Use leftover Model Magic to create cherries, sprinkles, and other fun toppings to add to the ice cream cone!

Save Some Green and Stay Allergy Free!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
My daughter is very allergic to peanuts. One time she was at her grandma's house and ate some peanuts and got very sick and I gave her some Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness, Wal-Dryl Allergy Relief Capsules and they worked right away. I would recommend this product to anyone. It only cost 3.49 compared to Benadryl Allergy Ultratab Tablets, which cost 4.99. So with Walgreens Wal-Dryl Allergy Relief Capsules you save 1.50! What a great Deal!
Here is more useful information about this product. Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products are a wonderful value, because it allow families and individuals to save more money without sacrificing quality. With the ridiculously rising cost of health care, saving some green, on over-the-counter medications can really help your budget. Not only does this product have a good value, Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products:
1. Are Walgreens pharmacist approved .
