Last week and this week we have been making clay turtles! I completed mine so I’ll tell you about them. First I had to make two balls and then put them on your board and smooth the edges out so there shaped out like a shell. One of the shell shaped parts is the shell while the other is the body beneath the shell. Next I made feet which should be a little short and then smooth them down on to the bottom part of the body. After that I put the shell on top of the smoothed out part of the legs. Then I made the head of the turtle which was pretty easy. Next I made an area to put the head at the front part of shell and put the head and it fitted perfectly! After I put on the head I put the tail before adding the details. First I added the shell details which was pretty hard, but I got it done. Then we went to the head details which had eyes, a mouth, and wrinkly skin on its neck. We put the toe nails and finally added my initials at the bottom of the body before giving it to Mr Marryatt who dried it. I had a great time!
Have you ever made a clay turtle before?
