Why

There are five elements in the Chinese zodiac: earth, metal, water, wood and fire. Depending on which year you were born in depends which element you belong to.

Make a Dog sculpture using clay, metal (recycled cans or old nuts and bolts), ice (have a go at ice carving), wood or build a sculptural bonfire. Alternatively you could try welding for the fire element. Remember to wear appropriate safety clothing and follow instructions carefully.
