Craft: Build your own Wacky Sculpture

We’re having so much fun playing with the new Building Kits in Webkinz World it inspired us to create some real life Building Kits of our own!

Here’s how you can build your own Wacky Sculpture:

What you need:

-          Oven bake clay

-          Acrylic paint (optional)

-          Sculpting tools: toothpicks, craft stick, dull knives (with the help of an adult assistant)

-          paintbrush

What you do:

To make Wacky, mould one piece of clay into a large teardrop shape and set it down on the wide end. You can make a small slit at the top of the teardrop shape and separate it slightly to form Wacky’s ‘hair’.

To craft legs, roll some clay into a thick sausage shape and cut in half with a knife. Shape one end into a foot (no toes!) Attach each leg to the side of the base of your teardrop shape, pointing outward. To make Wacky’s arms, roll a piece of clay into a slightly thinner sausage shape and cut in half. Form one end into a mitten shaped hand. Attach the arms to the side of Wacky above the legs. Smooth over the clay where the arms and legs attach to hide the joins.

To make Wacky’s eyes, roll a small piece of clay into a small ball and flatten slightly to form an oval. Create a smaller oval and press into the large oval, then craft a small circle and place it in the centre. Gently press eyes into the front of Wacky’s head toward the top. With a toothpick, poke a tiny hole in the center of each pupil on the eyes.

To make Wacky’s mouth, use a toothpick to cut a small slit into the front of Wacky’s face below the eyes. Use the toothpick to shape it into a mouth. Use two tiny lines of clay to form Wacky’s eyebrows.

When you are happy with the sculpture you can bake according to the instructions on the package and paint it if you like with acrylic paint.

    Dune456, if you have a Justice store where you live, they carry Webkinz. I searched everywhere for the Bichon & my daughter finally found it there. At least you have a Cracker Barrel near you, I don’t. cinderlou9

    That is so COOL!! I wish you’d sell something like this in stores. Its getting hard to find webkinz in stores now. I use to be able to buy them at the local hallmark stores but they’ve all stopped selling them. Its a bummer. Now i’m going to cracker barrel but they have a limited supply to choose from. I love everything webkinz and wish I could find more stores in my phx area..
