Gnome Santas:
Materials:
- small, cylinder pieces of wood from a tree, branch, log, etc.
- Red, Black, White, and Green Crayola Cloud Clay.
- small googly eyes
- Tooth picks
- Take the small, cylinder pieces of wood and shave of the top so that the top slants upward.
- Choose either red or green Crayola Cloud Clay for your Santa.
- Take off a chunk of clay and place the wood in the center closer to the bottom
- Start the wrapping process by covering the bottom of the wood (the NOT slanted side) by folding the up the clay on the bottom onto the wood
- Then work your way up wrapping the clay on both sides (do not fold over on the face, which is the slanted part)
- When you get to the top fold the excess clay on the top over.
- Take a strip of white and roll it.
- wrap it around the face on the edge of the other clay.
- Take some more white.
- Mold it into a beard type shape lay it down about 1/4 way up the face.
- Take a tooth pick and make small incisions on the beard to make it look like hair.
- Then, with the tooth pick, cut out a mouth shape in the beard almost to the top of the beard. (this creates a mouth and a mustache)
- Take a tiny red ball of red Crayola Cloud Clay and stick it at the top of the mustache, for a nose.
- Either stick two small googly eyes on the face for eyes of take 2 small flat pieces of white clay and two even smaller pieces of black clay and make eyes.
- Let them air dry
Materials:
- Brown paper lunch sacks
- small colored cotton balls
- Big googly eyes
- red and black washable markers
- Brown Construction Paper
- Take the child's hands and trace them onto the brown construction paper
- Cut them out
- Have the open side of the lunch sack facing down (flap on the top)
- Glue the handprints onto the side of the bag without the flap with the thumbs facing out in opposite directions. (these are the antlers)
- The flap is the face so glue the googly eyes on the top of the flap and the cotton ball in the middle of the flap.
- If you want a moth either use a red or black marker and draw a mouth underneath the flap.
- Now you have a puppet, stick your hand into the bag and make the flap move up and down.
