Snail Friend

How we did it:
Materials List
- air-dry clay
- tacky glue
- stick
- googly eyes
- pipe cleaner
- paint & paint brush - optional
-
We took a little walk to collect the perfect sticks for our little snail friends to rest on.
-
When we returned the kids quickly got to work making their snails. They started out by rolling a piece of clay into a snake shape.
-
Next, they rolled each snake up to create a snail shell form, leaving the end out to become the snails head.
-
Two little snips of pipe cleaner made the perfect antenna. This clay is really easy for little hands to work with and add accessories, too.
-
We used tacky glue to add eyes and position our snail on the stick. The kids noticed that the glue looked like snail slime!
-
Eventually they decided to paint the shell with some watercolor paints, but it wasn't necessary. Our snail was adorable either way.

A boy and his snail. Just too adorable to take!
