Offline copy: Shaun the sheep Plasticine model maker farmyard

Growing up as a youngster, Saturday mornings were not complete without an episode of Wallace and Grummit as well as Shaun the Sheep. This sparked a deep love for clay animation that still thrives till this day.

I remember all too well how much comfort I derived from watching Shaun the sheep. It was my go to for that touch of nostalgia and my happy place.

Imagine my delight to discover, I can make my very own episodes using the Ardman clay set. I can create Shaun the sheep, Timmy, Blizter and lots more.

Plasticine Shaun the Sheep Model Maker Farmyard Fun is available to purchase @amazon for (£20.99) or Plasticine Morphe Animation Maker for

This set contains a build manual with simple steps to create each beloved character. Also included is clay with colour palette for all the characters with add ins such as eyes, noses, legs, hats and arms . The most amazing thing is that this clay never drues out, giving you multiple opportunities to perfect your characters or give them unique features.

Hint:

A great idea is to put all the add ins in a small tub or paper cup to avoid losing them. Some of the pieces are quite small which leads me to emphasise the need for supervision of younger children when using this set.

Fun set up:

This set comes with a backdrop that's straight out of the show. The colours are vibrant and well suited for your creations to take centre stage.

Set up backdrop by unfolding the flaps. Secure the base with some blue tax or tape and you are good to go. (I found this quite helpful in keeping the backdrop secure while I made some videos).
