If you’re looking for a unique and/or inexpensive gift, look no further than Alex’s ClayPals. They’re miniature creatures made from clay and then baked for preservation. They’re crafted by a creative and enterprising young girl named Alex, who began the business when she was 9 years old. Be sure to check out Alex’s ClayPals.

began a few years ago when my daughter, Alex, started creating miniatures
out of clay as a hobby. Most figures were less than an inch in size but
had remarkable details: a fire-breathing dragon, a penguin listening to an
MP3 player, or a dog holding a bone.

As she developed her own techniques, she began to experiment more and started
creating playful figures such as an earth worm (a worm crawling through a
globe), a fire ant (an ant wearing a fire hat), or a hot dog (a Daschund
in a bun). When she started showing her ClayPals to her school
friends, everyone wanted to buy them. Thus a small business was born!

ClayPals are less than an inch tall!
