Clay Lab For Kids
Clay is often a favorite of kids, but not so many parents. Clay creations, nevertheless, are still very special and are often kept for years with fond memories. This resource equips children to explore air-dry clay, polymer and homemade clay projects with step-by-step photos and clear instructions. With some simple tools & techniques to create texture & color, your kids can make gifts for family at the holidays or anytime. Projects are varied, so there is something in here for everyone: masks, marionettes, ornaments, containers, and even critters for the garden!
In Clay Lab for Kids, art teacher and winner of the Netflix bake-off show Nailed It! Cassie Stephens presents 52 hands-on projects made with kid-friendly clays that get kids working creatively and thinking three-dimensionally.
Squishy, colorful, and infinitely shapable, clay just might be the most versatile art material for kids. Author-artist-teacher Cassie Stephens has created all-new clay projects for kids of all skill levels. Start with the basics of rolling, coiling, and pinching pots, and move up to making "Jurassic fossils," animal marionettes, monster magnets, and boxes with secret compartments.
All of the projects use kid-friendly, no-kiln clay (air-dry, homemade, and polymer) and water-based paints, perfect for home and classroom, plus there's an entire chapter of recipes for mixing up inexpensive homemade clays in the kitchen.
When 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 jewelry and toys; design with color; and decorate with paints.
