What you need

Clay in these colours

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

Step by step

  1. Roll a red oval for the body.

  2. Roll a red teardrop and press it on at the back as the tail.

  3. Press three small, flat red teardrops on at the end of the tail in a fan shape.

  4. Use the sculpting tool to press ridges across the back and the tail.

  5. Roll two fat teardrops for the claws and cut into the wide ends.

  6. Press the claws on at the front, next to the head.

  7. Roll six small sausages and press them on at both sides as legs.

  8. Press two red antennae, black eyes and a black smile onto the head. Done!

Tip

Lay the lobster down flat while you work so the legs stay in one piece.
