Description
Kids will love learning to work with clay! These 52 projects use air drying, easy to clean up clay, making them perfect for home or the classroom!
Clay Lab for Kids, a new addition to the Lab series, focuses on kid-friendly clays - air-dry, home-made, and polymer- that are safe and easy to use at home or in the classroom; no kiln required.
Art teacher Cassie Stephens makes clay a focus of her classes with amazing results. In Clay Lab for Kids, she continues her creative explorations with 52 hands-on projects ranging from 2-D monster magnets and coats of arms, to 3-D bobble-head dolls, Day of the Dead skulls, animal friends, marionettes, and treasure boxes.
In creating with clay, kids are introduced to a wide range of cognitive and manual skills: they'll work three-dimensionally; make figurative models; use their imaginations in making jewellery and toys; design with colour; and decorate with paints.
