How to Make
- Cut off 2 strips from a block of polymer clay. Roll it into an oval shape for the baby dinosaur's head. Shape the oval so it is pointed at one end.
- Roll 2 more polymer clay strips into a ball for the body. Gently flatten the ball at one end so it stands up. Press the head onto the body.
- Roll 2 small polymer clay balls for the feet, flatten them and use a modelling tool to cut lines for the toes. Roll 2 small balls into arms, about 3cm in length, use a modelling tool to shape the hands and fingers.
- Cut some small triangles from flattened polymer clay, then press them onto the back of the head. Roll eyes using another colour, press them onto the head. Roll a tail then press it to the back of the body.
- Finish the dinosaur with small, flattened polymer clay dots to make a pattern on the body. Add black dots to the middle of the eye.
- Check the dinosaur is the right size to fit into the egg before baking it. If it is too big, gently squeeze the body to make it a thinner shape. Put the dinosaur onto a baking tray. Bake polymer clay in a pre-heated oven at 110C on a baking tray. Follow instructions on the packaging. Allow polymer clay to cool before handling.
