Let's go back to the good ol' days of crafting as kids. For this week's Mashable Vine Challenge, use clay as your main material.

Claymation is one of the many forms of stop-motion animation. A malleable substance like clay can allow for creative building and sculpting. You can use basic modeling clay, Play-Doh, Silly Putty, Crayola's Model Magic or any other similar material. Just grab a chunk and create a character, hand-build pottery, or play around in 2D or 3D.

For our Vine video, we chose to animate a blob of clay that "grew" out of a table, and demonstrated a few motions -- rolling, bouncing and stretching -- in our animation.

Share your creation by Friday, April 11 at 9 a.m. ET, using the hashtag #ClayMash, for a chance to be featured in a follow-up post.
