These cute pinch pot monsters were made by my 2nd grade class. Here is a handout you could use about how to make a pinch pot.
After making a pinch pot, the students turned them on their side, squished the mouth down a little and then added eyes, noses, horns, ears, tongues and teeth. Make sure to score and add water in between each part. (Some people make slip, but I have found that with our consistency of clay, just adding a little water works just as well for the little kids.)
After the clay was fired, we painted our monsters with acrylic paints. Aren’t they fun?

Hello. I wanted to know how much clay you used to make the pinch pot for the monsters. Thank you.
I don’t know exactly. A lump that fits in a handful. Sorry I don’t know exact weight of amount!
