What you need

Clay in these colours

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

Step by step

  1. Roll a green ball for the body.

  2. Roll the ball out into a long teardrop.

  3. Bend the thick end up as the head and lift the tip a little.

  4. Roll a long brown strand and roll it up into a spiral.

  5. Press the shell upright onto the back of the body.

  6. Roll two short green antennae and press them onto the top of the head.

  7. Press a small black ball onto each antenna.

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

Tip

Start rolling up from the middle, so the spiral turns out nice and round.
