Youth and Community Programs Manager Marisely Gonzalez was inspired to create a sculpture of her favorite animal, the cat. Watch as she creates a sculpture of her pet cat in a sitting pose. Afterwards, use the recipe for clay below to design your own animal figurine.
Ingredients
2 cups cornstarch
About 1 cup inexpensive hair conditioner
Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Place the cornstarch in a large bowl.
Mix in the hair conditioner with your hands–it will just start coming together and it will be pliable and very, very smooth. If desired, add a drop or two or food coloring.
You may need to add more conditioner as you go. Use food coloring to color as desired. Keep covered when not in use.
