A play-dough turtle and duckling
A turtle’s hard shell protects it from danger. It walks slowly but lives very long. A duck swims because it has webbing between its toes. To make a turtle shell we shape a half-ball and draw a pattern of small six-sided shapes on it. A duckling is two yellow balls: the big one is the body, the small one the head.
You need: green, yellow, orange and black play-dough, board. Steps: 1) Press a green ball into a half-ball and press a pattern of small six-sided marks on top with a finger or blunt stick. 2) Add four short legs and a head at the front. 3) For the duckling roll two yellow balls and join them. 4) Add an orange flat beak and feet and black eyes. Safety: use only the blunt plastic modelling stick given by an adult; never make marks with a sharp object.
