My kids can all sculpt. Unfortunately, it's not one of my talents. But one night when my husband was on a business trip, my daughter and I sat down with some clay. She was trying to teach me how to sculpt. First we started with wax paper. Then we rolled the clay around in our hands to warm it up.
Then she showed me how to make a penguin.
Of course, mine didn't turn out like hers but it was fun. So, if you have a few free hours you might want to try sculpting ;)
