A Fatal Slip (25 page)
Your frog is now starting to take shape. Roll two small pieces of the green clay into stubby cylinders, then attach them to the bottom of the frog by scoring the materials and rubbing water into the grooves until slip is formed. Press them into place and then mold them until you’re satisfied with their shape.
Taking a small awl, you can carve two nostrils and a smile into the body, or you can make these out of clay as well. To finish your frog, roll three or four small balls of brown clay and press them onto the frog’s back to give him spots of character. Make sure everything is just how you’d like it, then bake the clay per the instructions on the box.
With a little imagination, you can create an entire menagerie of clay frogs, snakes, squirrels, and even dogs. They’re great fun to make, and kids love to get them as gifts, as well as make them themselves.
