Ingredients
- Air-dry clay
- Colorful marbles
- Acrylic paints (optional)

Instructions
- Start by taking a small piece of air-dry clay in your hands. Knead it gently for a few moments until it feels warm and pliable.
- Shape a body for your snail by rolling it into a smooth oval form, about the size of your palm.
- Create the snail’s shell from another piece of clay by rolling it into a small ball, flattening it slightly, and twisting it into a spiral shape.
- Attach the shell to the back of the body by pressing it gently.
- Press marbles into the clay as embellishments if desired.
- Allow your creation to dry completely, which may take a few hours.
- Paint the snail’s body and shell with your chosen colors.
- Finally, place your finished snail in your garden or by a window.
