1. Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Cut foam
ball in half; set aside one half-ball. (NOTE: This step is
not for children; an adult should be available to cut with a
serrated knife.)

shell), add pinch of black to 1-1/2" ball of green compound
and mix until desired effect is achieved.

3. Use rolling pin to roll 3" ball of modeling compound to

around ball, pressing out large air bubbles. Use scissors to
trim excess; gently roll ball on hard surface to smooth.

for shell. Drape shell over rounded side of half-ball, leaving edges free.

5. Roll 1" ball of compound into 1/8"-thick, 2" circle for
scales. Use scissors to cut irregular triangle shapes from
compound and press to shell.

6. Roll four 1/2" balls for legs, 1/4" ball for pointed tail,
and 1" ball for head/neck. Refer to photo to shape pieces.

7. For face, roll small amounts of white into tiny balls for
eyes; press to head. Add small black dots to eyes; press to
secure. Use scissors blade to indent smile.
