Yes, you can make the hamster whatever size you want it to be. You can also change the shapes slightly to fit the body type or pose you want your hamster to have, and make it whatever color you want.

Warnings

Be careful while making the hamster and when putting it in the oven.

Before you use the clay, see if you might have a reaction to using it, or the chemicals used in it.

Do NOT use a sharp blade while cutting out pieces ( This note is for people who are 13 years old or over.)
