What you need

Clay in these colours

Step by step

  1. Roll a dark green ball and press the bottom flat for the shell.

  2. Roll a small dark green sausage and press it around the bottom as a rim.

  3. Make flat light green circles and press them onto the shell.

  4. Make four thick light green legs and press them in place under the rim.

  5. Roll a light green ball and press it against the front as the head.

  6. Press black eyes, a black mouth and pink cheeks onto the head. Done!

Tip

Press the parts firmly in place so they don’t break off after baking.
