"Hi my name is Rachel Dayan for Expert Village now I'm going to show you how to make a bear. That's a fun one, we're going to make our bear purple we're going to take the purple clay you just make a oval circle, a ball, and the ball this is going to be the bears belly. A little smaller one is going to be the head and to put the head in the body together we need a toothpick, just put half of toothpick cause we don't want it to go through you put it in the head. Now put the head with the body together very nice, and now we're going to do the nose part make a little circle out of this. A little circle a little ball, a little ball and then cut it in half, cut it in half very nice, and then put the one half part of it inside the center of the face, the bears face. With your fingers just smear it around it's good, now we're going to make the hands of the bear, just make 2, one long snake that we're going to cut into half, so it will be equal. Maybe if there very wide we can make legs for them if there if it's to wide, just do it on the ya that's going to be easier. Okay just cut in half put each hand on just stick it to the body a little squeeze on the back not to hard. And then just smear it a little around let see how you smear it very good, now the other one, smear it, very good. And now what you do is say hello to the bear say hello to the bear and squeeze his the end of this hand, you can see it makes the ends flat."
