Project One: Animals Start off with simple animal shapes and before you know it you'll have a whole zooful of creatures. Remember to press firmly when you have to stick two parts together, such as a leg to a body, so that they won't fall apart later.
Take some simple shapes and turn them into snakes and other creepy crawlies.
1. Roll out a snake shape. Roll one end into a point to form the tail.
2. Roll out a smaller, thin snake for a tongue. Fold this piece in half. Leave the ends spread apart and pinch and roll the folded part smooth.
3. Attach the tongue to the bottom of the snake's head. Make two small balls for eyes and press them onto the head. Draw on a mouth with the point of a pencil.
4. Decorate your snake with small pancake spots and curl him into any position.
1. To make a spider, lightly press a ball of clay onto the board to flatten the bottom. Stick on a smaller ball for a head and add a face.
2. Roll out eight thin snakes for legs. Pick up the spider and attach the legs onto its flat bottom.
