  • Squish the clay in your hands first for a minute or so to get it soft and stretchy.

  • If you don't have a big, square ceramic tile, ask Mom or Dad to use masking tape to tape some white paper or some waxed paper down on the counter top.  This is your work surface.

  • Always follow package directions for baking, and have a grownup help.

  • Look around your house for cool tools to use, like cookie cutters, rubber stamps, leather crafting tools and old silverware.  Ask first, though, before you use it!!

  • Don't use anything you want to eat with later, like a plate.

  • Wash your hands after you work with clay.  Baby wipes work great.

  • Building BIG monsters?  Use tin foil squeezed real tight for the center, and then just cover with clay.
