Quirky Character Pencil Toppers

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.
