Clay Critters

Avery (6th grade) Loves Hedgehogs! 

How cute is this clay critter she made with stellar patience?!

Since air dry clay is notorious for broken appendages, 

I gave the children the option of using twine in place of clay for their tails

My kinder through 6th graders created some very cute mice using air dry clay. I said we were channeling Beatrix Potter meets Ratatouille. But my mind tends to dwell in books and movies. They could create a family of critters and set up a little scene on top of their scrapbook paper covered "stage". These were painted with acrylic paints.
