During this project we learned how to work with clay and how to form it into a shape using a wooden dowel and two wooden sticks. We began by throwing the clay down against the cardboard to get out all of the air bubbles. After we got the hang of working with the clay, we got to start on our final project. Once we got the shape we were wanting, we got to use different material to make imprints on our clay. We were then given the opportunity to paint our clay whatever colors we liked as long as we used at least two colors.
An extension activity to this project would be to allow the students to go outside and find one object that they can use to make an imprint with, like a fossil.
