Clay Time!

Today the children were introduced to clay! Teacher Linette invited each group to come to the table and simply explore the material. The children flattened, pinched and asked questions about clay such as “What is clay for?” Linette explained to them that you can model clay into different shapes and create art! She also talked to them about how the heat on our hands helps make the clay softer the longer we use it. She asked them how the clay feels in their hands:

Callum: Sticky

Violet: Poofy, squishy and hard. Makes my hands soft and hot

Isaiah: Soft

After taking time to get acquainted with the clay, the children will be able to mold their own pieces and decorate them!
