<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step-by-Step Instructions:</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Preparing the Pieces</h2>



<p>First,gather all the clay pieces you'll need. <br>You'll need the body of the crocodile,four legs,and five spikes. <br>Take a chunk of clay and squish it in your hands until it’s soft and easy to shape. Make a long oval shape – this will be the crocodile’s body.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://staging.ceramic.school/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/kroko2-1000x554.png" alt="" class="wp-image-150387"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Attaching the Legs</h2>



<p>Take the body piece and place it on a flat surface. Position each leg at the corners of the body. Gently press each leg into place. However another option is to slip and score the pieces together. Scoring is when you make tiny scratches on the surfaces of two pieces you want to stick together.! When you score both surfaces and add a little water,it helps the clay pieces hold on to each other better. Make sure the legs are secure by smoothing the clay around the joints where they meet the body.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Adding the Spikes</h2>



<p>Next,it's time to give your crocodile some spikes!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Starting from the back of the head,press each spike gently into the body,spacing them evenly along the back towards the tail. Ideally you use again the scoring method. These spikes will add a fun,fierce look to your crocodile.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Drying </h2>



<p>Once you're happy with your crocodile,let it dry completely. Depending on the thickness of your clay,this could take 24-48 hours. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Painting</h2>



<p>Once dry,it's time to paint! Choose your favorite colors and bring your crocodile to life. You can go for a realistic look with greens and browns or get creative with bright,fun colors. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Optional add Sealer</h2>



<p>Sealers can make the colors pop and your details stand out. Air-dry clay can absorb water,which might cause your project to become soft or even fall apart. A sealer keeps water out,so your creation stays strong and dry. However air dry clay projects are not completely waterproof!</p>
