Step 1
Roll air-dry clay into a ball and shape the alien’s body.
 
Make two small balls for eyes from another color of clay. Attach to the top of the body.
 
Glue wiggle eyes to the front of the two small balls. Let dry. 
Step 2
Use another color of the clay to make the mouth.
 
Shape the same color of clay as the eyes in Step 1 into flattened oval shapes for the feet. Attach underneath the body.  
Step 3
Cut a chenille stem in half to make the antennae. Gently push into the back of the body. They should be pointing vertically from behind the eyes.
 
Glue pom poms to the end of each chenille stem. Let dry. 
Step 4
Set your alien aside to air dry.
