Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
I had these tiny marbles left over from a floral project. Emma's had her eyes on these marbles for a while now, so I knew she'd love them for this project.
Step 2
First she kneaded away at the dough to soften it up.
Step 3
She rolled the dough into a large ball and flattened one side. Then it was time to "add the pretty" to it! Both my kids (ages 2 and 5) enjoyed pushing the marbles into the clay.
Final result!
Wow! This was so simple to make and came out so very pretty. It almost looks like a turtle shell, doesn't it?
