1. Shape brown clay into a ball. Change the ball into a football shape by tapering each end between your fingers.

2. Roll a really skinny coil of white. Press the white around the tapered ends of the football for the stripes. Flatten more stripes in the middle of the football for the seams. Set the football aside.

3. Shape the rest of the White into a ball.

4. Roll some Orange into a tiny coil. Flatten and press the orange onto the baseball. (The seams of a baseball are sort of a loose "8" style but they don¹t cross in the middle.) With the straight pin, gently prick little stitch marks on both sides of the orange line.

5. Bake both the football and the baseball at 250 Degrees F (130 Degrees C) for 10 minutes in your home oven. Wait until they are completely cool before you handle them.
