For the tadpoles in a jar project you will need the following:

  • A 1:12 scale (dolls house scale)miniature wide mouth glass jar or bowl to hold the tadpoles.
  • A small piece of reindeer moss or other suitable greenery (you can make some from polymer clay if you like)
  • Brown polymer clay for tadpoles
  • A ceramic tile to bake the tadpoles on
  • Two part epoxy resin for simulated water
  • Disposable plastic mixing cups with straight sides and visible measures (you will need two cups for each pour of resin, and you may need two or three resin pours depending on where you want to place your tadpoles)
  • Straight sided stirring stick/craft stick for plastic resin
  • Rubbing alcohol or alcohol and paper towels for clean up if necessary.
