Fun With Clay!

Students in grades 2/3/4 had fun experimenting with air dry clay to make model cars as part of their unit on transport. We discussed several techniques for working with clay such as how to make slabs and coils, as well as the 'scratch attach' technique. Students watched a demonstration on how to make a model car and attach the pieces properly. Our cars took only a few days to harden. Once dry, students painted and decorated their cars with acrylic paints and glitter. Students loved getting their hands dirty with this project!
