Clay in these colours

  • Beige
  • Brown
  • Black

  • Sculpting tools from the kit
  • An oven, an oven thermometer and baking paper. An adult does the baking.

Step by step

  1. Roll a beige ball for the body.

  2. Pinch a pointy snout on one side.

  3. Press a black nose, two black eyes and two pink cheeks in place.

  4. Roll four small beige ovals for the feet.

  5. Press the feet in place under the body.

  6. Make two small beige ears and press them on top of the head.

  7. Roll lots and lots of small brown teardrops for the spines.

  8. Press the spines onto the back row by row, overlapping. Done!

Tip

Start the spines at the back, so they overlap nicely.
