Clay Butterflies– 1st Grade

These lovely clay butterflies were made by the 1st graders.  Each student traced their hands to make the wings.  Some of the little parts fell off, so I would recommend making sure that the kids don’t roll their slabs too thin.  I found this lesson in the book, The Clay Lady Way Textbook.  I was able to flip through this book at one of the National Art Ed conferences and decided it would be worth the investment.

  1. Marcia –

    Absolutely charming. The parents are going to treasure them forever because of the hands. I pinned it!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
