In this video we will be using air drying clay to create quirky pencil toppers. This fun activity explores modelling techniques and works on fine motor skills.

Step 1

Create the body of your character using Creative Clay.

Step 2

Insert a paper straw into the base, which will give you something to hold on to.

Step 3

Continue adding more clay, feathers, chenille stems, joggle eyes and anything else you may have at hand to create your character.

Step 4

Snip away the excess straw, leaving 2–3 cm of straw attached to your character.

Step 5

Insert a pencil into the straw and leave your character to set for 1–2 hours.
