What you need

Clay in these colours

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

Step by step

  1. Roll a red ball and press it a little flatter.

  2. Press a thin black strand lengthways along the back.

  3. Roll a black ball and press it on at the front as the head.

  4. Press small black spots onto the red body.

  5. Press on two white discs, each with a black dot, as eyes.

  6. Press two pink cheeks and a small red heart as a mouth onto the head. Done!

Tip

Roll the black strand very thin, so the line comes out nice and neat.
