Looking for some foam clay ideas to keep you or your children entertained? Discover how to make a beautiful looking Unicorn using Foam Clay with our step-by-step guide. This clay Unicorn is created using a 3D self-assembly wooden horse jigsaw, which has been assembled, painted white and sprinkled with glitter. It’s then decorated with a mane, tail and a horn all made from
Foam Clay.
We would recommend this craft project for adults and children over the age of 7 as there are some small parts involved, as well as a fair bit of glitter! Foam
Clay is safe to use and completely non-toxic so is a great foam clay idea for creative children.
