The Fun & Festive Village

Sculpt a festive holiday scene that'll serve as the backdrop to your story! Imagine your Christmas village. What does it look like? Does it have snow-capped mountains? Or does it look like a quaint town tucked away on a magical island? Are the halls in Santa's house decked with boughs of holly? Will the lake be frozen, so the animals can enjoy skating? Are the bells in the town square jingling? Is Santa's workshop big enough to house all the helpful elves? Do you smell the cookies in the air? Create a village where your characters forge lifelong friendships as they celebrate Christmas!

The Nice (or Naughty!) Characters

Create characters who'll live and thrive in your Christmas village! What do they look like and what personality do they have? Sculpt Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, a giddy gingerbread man, a red-nosed reindeer, a funny and frosty snowman, a playful penguin, and a pleasant polar bear. What funny names will you give the elves? Follow the steps in creating the cute clay figures in the book. They don't have to look exactly like the ones in the book. Create cheerful characters and arctic animals from clay that will star in your own cheery story!

The Cheery Christmastime Story

There's no need to wait for the yuletide season to be jolly! In your very own Christmas story, there'll be joy in the world all year round! Up for some fairytale? How about a love story? The choice is yours! How many elves does it take to wrap all the presents for the kids? Will the rabbit's Christmas wish be granted? Will the whimsical walrus get to swim back home just in time for Christmas Eve? The possibilities are endless because in Christmas Village, anything's possible!

FAQs

What clay should you use?

I recommend using non-drying modeling clay. If you prefer, you may use air-dry clay, soft oven-bake clay, polymer clay, or Sculpey clay.

Do you need any hand tools or specialized equipment?

Absolutely no. The book will teach you how to use common household items in modeling clay. You'll only need a ruler, tea strainer, toothpick, and other items found in your home.

What age is the book recommended to?

The book is suitable for children ages 5 to 13. Kids who can read can work independently, while younger ones can enjoy the activity with their parents.
