Here's a happy puppy you can make from clay.

Materials

• Polymer clay in beige or white, black, brown, and red

• Toothpicks

Instructions

1. Roll and shape all the clay parts shown.

2. Cut the end off a toothpick and use it to fasten the head to the body.

3. Press the front and back feet in place.

4. Press the teardrop-shaped ears onto the head, as shown, and attach the small rolled tail to the back of the body.

5. For the face, push the cheeks into place, then add the black triangular nose. Flatten a circle of brown clay onto the face to make a spot where one eye will go, then attach the tiny black eyes.

6. Use a toothpick to create whisker holes and paw marks.

7. Press on a red tongue, using a toothpick to place it just under the cheeks, then carve a line down the tongue's center.
