1Learn about the Stonehenge.

Before doing this craft, it helps to learn about the Stonehenge. We listed some helpful resources below.

2Prepare the clay or dough.

To make the Stonehenge stones, you can either collect real rocks that are relatively flat or mold your own stones from air dry clay or homemade salt dough. For a sandy or textured dough, try making some sand dough.

If you are making your Stonehenge using real rocks, skip to Step 8.

3Add color.

Add a tinge of color to your clay or dough by mixing in a bit of gray or blue acrylic or poster paint.

4Mix in the color.

Knead until the dough or clay is evenly colored.

5Mold the clay.

Take a small chunk of clay or dough. Mold it with your fingers into a vertical block. The Stonehenge's vertical stones are called liths and a single upright stone is also known as a monolith.

6Flatten the top and bottom.

Flatten the bottom of the stone by pressing it against the table. A flat bottom will allow the stone to stand upright.

Pat the top of the stone with your fingers to flatten it as well. This will make it easier to put a horizontal stone on top.

7Make more vertical stones.

Make nine or more liths or vertical stones of approximately the same height.

8Arrange the vertical stones.

Arrange the vertical stones in a circle to define the Stonehenge's round shape.

9Make a horizontal stone.

Shape the clay into a slightly thinner block to make the horizontal stones called a lintel. Each lintel connects two liths to make a trilith or trilithon—a structure consisting of two vertical stones supporting a third horizontal stone on top.

10Glue the horizontal stone in place.

Permanently attach the horizontal stone to the pair of vertical stones using white glue. If you are working with real rocks, a glue gun is a better option.

11Make more horizontal stones.

Continue making more lintels or horizontal stones and glue them on top of the vertical stones.

12Let the clay dry.

Once you have put all the horizontal stones in place, let your miniature Stonehenge dry at room temperature.

When the clay is partially dry, you can prop up the bottom of the vertical stones with craft sticks. This should let some air circulate at the base and allow the clay to dry more quickly.
