Clay Keepsake

About

ABOUT THE LESSON: Everything starts with an idea. Airplanes, ice cream, Playstation, socks, and pretty much everything else you see around you :) Planning and designing are the first steps in taking a thought and turning it into a physical object. In this lesson, we will engage in the design process: thinking of an idea, drawing it, and then turning that design into a real object. SUPERSKILLS: Problem-solving: identifying a problem and then inventing or discovering an appropriate solution. The kids will have to do much problem-solving in this craft whilst using clay to replicate their design. Fine-motor skills: using the smaller muscle groups in our hands and fingers to grip by performing finger oppositions and extending and flexing our fingers. This becomes a major focus in this craft when the kids are creating finer details. WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Air-dry clay Toothpick Skewer Knife Thick A4 white paper Pencil Eraser Watercolour paint, paintbrushes Hand towel String Strong magnet Glue gun
