Let's Play With Clay!
The Project Choices are listed from super simple to more advanced.
1. Wobbly Pot
2. A Fat Cat
3. Clay Owls
Supplies Needed:
Paper towels, wipes to clean up afterwards
Plastic to cover your table area & tape to secure
Wax paper taped to your work area works great for a non stick surface!!
You also need to bring a box to carry your project home in. Especially for the clay projects that will need to air dry for a while.
Air Dry Clay or Model Magic (The amount of clay should be at least a cup size for each project)
If using Air Dry Clay you will need a small sponge, a small bowl of water, a plastic knife, plastic fork, or a pack of modeling tools. You could also bring other objects you have around the house that might make interesting imprints or designs in the clay.
*Air Dry Clay Recipe you could try:
1 cup Corn Starch
2 cups Baking Soda
1 and 1/4 cups water.
Here is a link on how to make it: http://whipup.net/2006/10/03/kitchen-craft-clay/
For Model Magic you will need a plastic knife, or other kitchen tools that might make interesting designs to the surface of the clay.
The clay owls would be for those who are a little older and really enjoy sculpting.
Here is a link to the clay owl project idea.

*Because these projects can be messy, be sure and wear an old shirt or apron to protect your clothes.
Here is an example of a pinch pot:
