Step by step
Roll a white egg shape for the body and a smaller white ball for the head.
Press the head firmly on top of the body.
Make two small white ears with a pink circle inside and press them onto the head.
Press a flat white oval onto the face as the muzzle, with a black nose on top.
Press black eyes and pink cheeks in place.
Roll two short white rolls and press them onto the belly as front paws.
Press two flat white ovals at the bottom as feet.
Lay a light blue strip around the neck as a scarf. Done!
Tip
Use clean hands for white clay: wash them in between, so your polar bear stays nice and white.
