Clay Time!

Clay Time!

(1)
These posters are to give children ways to explore with clay. Can you make the clay…? It is so important that we teach the children how to use clay, giving them time to explore, before we expect a final outcome. Tips: I use a lesson to just the kids explore. First creating the smoothest balls, then seeing how flat they can make it without tearing, then creating the longest and thinest sausages. Finally, introducing this word mat. Encourage them to only use their hands before introducing tools later.
