Our final activity of the summer break was making things from Polymer clay. We have a bit of experience of polymer clay but not much so there was still an element of experimentation. It was completely freestyle so everyone got to choose what they were going to make and how many things they were going to make.
My 13 and 9 year olds must have been in dark, horror fan moods because one created a zombie and one created a plaque that was essentially a body that had been attacked by a zombie. Mayhaps I have been taking the zombie thing too far with them this summer, what with Night of the Living Dead location shoots and all, but I am happy to have some more zombie fans in the family.
My 10 year old is following his older brother’s footsteps and getting into Minecraft so he created a Creeper figure with the clay. My 7 year old decided to make a tiny, adorable bunny rabbit complete with tiny carrots. He also made a bunch of other tiny little things. He’s all about making small things he can easily shove in his pockets – which then easily end up in the washing machine.
I decided to join in too and I sort of fused what my kids were doing, combining zombies and bunnies to see if I could create tiny polymer clay versions of my zombie bunny characters. I can see those ending up in my 7 year old’s pockets too.

Zombie bunnies – that will keep me laughing all day
Thanks, Ellie. That’s a great compliment.
The kids did great but those zombie bunnies won my heart.
Thanks, Claudia. I may try bigger versions of them at some point, maybe in air dry clay as well as polymer clay.
Well, I’m putting in my order.
Yay! You’ve got a zombie con minecraft con bunny activity there. From the photos, everyone had a great day creating. More zombie characters please!
Thanks. Polymer clay is fun. I can see us using it again – and probably making more zombies.
Yey! Can’t wait what the kids will come up to.
Zombies, monsters and bunnies, oh my! What a perfect way to wrap up your crafty summer. You should definitely make more zombie bunnies too, they’re so cool!
Thank you. I definitely want to try more zombie bunnies, perhaps on a slightly larger scale.
Nice! They’d be great to dot around the house at Hallowe’en. Or imagine putting really big ones in the garden… So much classier than gnomes!
