How to make your worry pet
Step 1
Start by mixing the flour, water and salt in a bowl to create the dough. Remember to repeat these steps for different colours if you like.
Step 2
Split the dough into equal pieces and make them into shapes for your worry pets' ears, arms and legs.
Step 3
Next, place your worry pets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for the oven.
Step 4
With the help of a grown-up, place your figures into the oven on a low temperature for 3 to 5 hours.
Step 5
Decorate your worry pets however you like using your paint. You can use glue to add beads and googly eyes to bring your worry pets to life!
