Materials Needed:
- Air-dry clay (yellow, orange, white, and black)
- Clay modeling tools (optional but helpful)
- A toothpick or fine tool for detailing
- A smooth workspace
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Shape the Body
- Roll a ball of yellow clay to form the chicken’s body. Gently shape it into an oval or egg-like form.
- For a fun twist, create a second chicken in orange clay.
2. Add the Wings
- Take two small pieces of clay (same color as the body) and flatten them slightly into teardrop shapes. Attach one to each side of the body to resemble wings.
3. Craft the Beak and Feet
- Use orange clay to shape a tiny triangle for the beak.
- For the feet, create two small flat pieces with three prongs each. Attach them to the bottom of the body.
4. Add the Comb and Wattle
- Make a comb by rolling a small piece of red clay into a wavy line or three small bumps. Place it on the top of the chicken’s head.
- For the wattle, add two tiny red balls just under the beak.
5. Make the Eyes
- Roll two small balls of white clay and press them onto the face for the eyes. Add even smaller black dots on top for pupils.
6. Final Touches
- Smooth out any seams or imperfections.
- Add small details with a toothpick or modeling tools, like feather textures or expressions.
7. Let It Dry
- Allow your chickens to air dry completely before handling or displaying them.
Tips for Success
- Experiment with different sizes to create a variety of chickens.
- Use a glossy varnish to give your chickens a shiny finish once they’re dry.
- Turn your creations into magnets, keychains, or desk decorations!
