First get out the old batch of playdough from the fridge.
Roll it into a smooth ball and then shape it to a size just a little bigger than the toy.
Get your toy and squish!
and you have your mold.
Then pour in the plaster of paris.
Kiki's donkey.
Once dry, peel back the playdough and leave to dry further.
Then paint.
Ta da!
You can also use with natural 'toys' like pine cones, acorn cups, fossils, shells and even animal footprints. The soft playdough can be replaced with plasticine for a more solid mold although more expensive.

hello moogie, these molds are so neat. i feel like your home holds so much love and laughter! and i like your new heading picture. it looks like fungi on tree bark . . do you know what kind?
Oh thanks Dorina :o)
The picture is of somekind of lichen, not sure which one though, maybe the common orange. It was on a branch that we were about to throw onto the fire, and I just had to take a picture of it. I love the contrast against my zebra print skirt :o)
