🐾 Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Shape the Body
Roll a ball of black clay into an oval to form the penguin’s body. Flatten the bottom so it can stand.
Step 2: Add the Belly
Flatten a small white circle and press it onto the front of the body to make the penguin’s tummy.
Step 3: Make the Eyes
Roll two tiny white balls for eyes. Add even tinier black balls for pupils and press gently into place.
Step 4: Craft the Beak and Feet
Use orange clay to make a small triangle for the beak and two flat ovals for the feet. Stick them on with a dab of water or glue.
Step 5: Add Flippers
Take two small black teardrop shapes and attach them to the sides for wings.
Step 6: Make It Blush
Use pink clay or a bit of blush powder to give your penguin rosy cheeks!
