  • Sculpting tools from the kit
  • An electric oven and baking paper. An adult does the baking.

Step by step

  1. Roll a grey egg shape for the body.

  2. Press a flat white oval onto the front as the belly.

  3. Roll a grey ball, a little wider than the body, and press it on top as the head.

  4. Make two big round ears with a white circle inside and press them high on the sides.

  5. Press a big black oval nose in the middle of the face.

  6. Press black eyes and pink cheeks in place.

  7. Make a flat green leaf and hold it against the belly with two short arms.

  8. Press two flat grey feet at the bottom. Done!

Tip

The big nose makes the koala: make it bigger than you think, taller than it is wide.

An adult does the baking

  • 110–130 °C, never higher
  • 10–15 minutes per 6 mm of thickness
  • Electric oven only
  • Let it cool completely; attach cords and beads only after that
