Kindergarten - Clay Snowmen


Kindergarten really the oil pastel snowmen that we made, so while thinking of a clay project, we continued the snowman theme. 



We kneaded the clay to get out the air bubbles.



Rolled the clay into balls



We carefully made sure that we had three different sizes, a good proportion lesson.



Students learned how to score and slip their clay, using the "clay glue" to hold their pieces together,



Snowmen were assembled and details were added using clay tools. 



Happy snowmen waiting their turn in the kiln... not knowing what their fate would soon be......



SNOWMAN AVALANCHE!!!


Well, one of the important lessons to learn with clay is to not get too attached to your creation.. it just might explode. 

We'll revisit clay after the holiday break and make some more!
