They are super simple, and only 4 inches tall, but they make me smile all day long. They are super cute! I made several little clay presses, so the kids could make doors and windows in the wet clay, and have some consistency. This was one of the kids (and my) favorite projects of the year. When they were placed in the glass show case outside the principals office, the parents would smile and point at them while the kids explained the process. You see? That's pure joy in my book!<br />

Primary aged students, and even my pre-K students love making clay pumpkins in October. Their parents and my principal always comment on how cute they are too. This assignment is quick and easy. First we made a practice pumpkin using oil clay.<br />

The next time the kids came to art class they made a "real" clay pumpkin. The kids looked at some real clay pumpkins from the garden. We made the ridges using wooden clay tool knives and our fingers. Popsicle sticks work great too.<br />

I find illustrated kids books provide great inspiration for imagery. I have the kids draw onto the fabric using sharpie pens, this provides a coloring book style image to fill in with color. We iron off the wax, between newspaper, when we're done coloring.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The fabric is left with simply the dye from the crayons. This is always super successful!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> My little students love art and they are so perfect for this subject because they are present and have no preconceived notions about how something should look. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> For this age, it's all about the process, and not about the finished product. Which is why my job is multidimensional.
