Kidshaper - Gobble Frog
GOBBLE FROG - by KIDSHAPER
Make Your Own and store all your pocket money, paper clips or elastic bands!
Take a ball of modelling clay about as big as your clenched fist. Then roll it flat and about 10mm (1/2 inch) thick. Cut off about one quarter of it.
Now roll the larger piece into a cylinder about 50mm (2 inches) in diameter, and then flatten one end to close it. Use your clay shaper or Kidshaper to smooth over the join both inside and outside. Wetting the clay here will help to make the joint stronger. Then use the Shaper to totally smooth the outside of the body.
Now make 2 hands with arms, 2 feet, and 2 nicely round eyes - all from the piece of clay you saved earlier. Use the clay shaper (or Kidshaper) to cut out the clay shapes, taking care to leave enough material between the fingers and toes so they don't break! Also roll two thick sausages of clay to make lips for the frog.
Make the tongue for your frog, cutting it out using your clay shaper (or Kidshaper) and don't forget to put a groove up the middle for the food to roll up!
Attach the arms, feet, eyes and lips to the body of the frog using water to soften the clay at the joins, and working to join the clay together well - if you don't then you may find that the arms or feet drop off! Now stick the tongue into the mouth, again working the clay well to ensure that it joins together.
When the frog is thoroughly hardened - normally 2 to 3 days, paint it in the colours of your choice with a brush.
