2  Narwhal

2.0.1 Create Your Own Underwater Polymer Clay Narwhal Scene!

Objective: Make a festive underwater scene with polymer clay featuring a narwhal wearing a Santa hat.

Task No. 1

Materials Needed:

• Polymer clay in various colours (gray, white, pink, red, and blue)

• Clay tools (optional)

• A baking tray and oven (with adult supervision)

• A clear workspace

Steps:

1. Create the Narwhal:

   • Use gray clay to mold the body of the narwhal. Shape it like a whale with a long, thin tail.

   • Use white clay to make the narwhal’s tusk. Roll a small piece into a cone shape and attach it to the front of the narwhal’s head.

   • Add black eyes and rosy pink cheeks to the narwhal using small pieces of black and pink clay.

2. Make the Santa Hat:

   • Use red clay to make a small cone shape for the hat.

   • Add white trim and a white pom-pom to the hat. Attach the hat to the narwhal’s head.

3. Create the Underwater Background:

   • Use blue clay to create a flat surface for the water.

   • Add light blue or white clay to make light reflections on the water.

   • Use tan or brown clay to make the sandy bottom.

   • You can add a few small sea creatures or plants using different colors of clay, but not too many—keep it simple!
