About 1/4 recipe or less of uncoloured Play Clay
1 or 2 toothpicks • A small amount of your favourite colour Play Clay
Wire rack and a shallow baking pan
Quick drying craft glue or a low temperature glue gun
Fine tip black marker
One piece of ribbon or fabric or coloured paper about
1 inch wide and 12 inches long
One 12 inch long brown pipe cleaner • Orange marker or orange paint
Spray or brush on clear acrylic to seal
Roll the white Play Clay into three balls - a small one for the head, a
medium size for the body and a larger ball for the bottom. Insert a toothpick about half its length straight down into the top of the largest ball; gently
press the middle size ball straight down onto the toothpick as if you were building the snowman outside. Unstack the two balls. From a tiny bit of
leftover white Play Clay, shape a carrot nose for the snowman. From the coloured Play Clay, shape a hat for the snowman. Gently place all the Play Clay pieces for the snowman on the wire rack set in the shallow baking pan.
Oven Drying: Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC), then turn the oven off. Place
the baking pan in the oven and leave it until oven is cold; turn the play clay
items once or twice to help them dry evenly. Repeat as necessary until dry.
(When reheating the oven, be sure to take the baking pan out before turning on the heat.) Air-dry Play Clay overnight on wire racks, turning occasionally
to speed up drying. Assembling the Snowman: With the marker, draw eyes
the ribbon or fabric around his neck as a scarf.
