Try making a sculpture of an animal out of clay.

Use different tools to incise (cut into) the surface of the clay to create different textures such as fur, scales, or feathers and details such as eyes, nose, whiskers, and other facial features. Experiment with toothpicks, Popsicle sticks, or metal sculpting tools.
