🖤Valentine's clay-relief🖤
Who wouldn't love one of these on Valentine's day?!
After we rolled and flattened our clay, I asked the children to think of ideas for Valentine's day... we discussed a few obvious themes but each chose for themselves... Flowers & hearts were the obvious favourites but there were a few dog bones & teddy bears too!
All were different... Some wanted a heart-shaped tile, so I assisted by scoring lines for them to cut away the excess.
For some of the children, this was a first experience with clay... After a couple of early requests to wash hands & initial reluctance from some... They were soon smothered in wet clay and loving the sensory experience! What's not to love? Besides the cleanup! This beauty was made by a very focused 5 year boy😍
