Be creative with your baby or toddler with CLAYTIVITY! Invite CLAYTIVITY to join your group and we will guide you through the fun process of making a complete project with step by step instructions working side by side with your little one/s.
Also, we will include a demonstration of pottery throwing on a potter’s wheel.
Either help your child or let them help you. It is not unusual for young children to have short attention spans (!) and not every little one takes to clay like goslings to water. But that’s OK, there is no pressure to make anyone get more involved than they feel comfortable with. Whether it’s handling little bits of clay, making small decorations or having their hand or foot pressed into the clay, it’s all about enjoying the moment with family and friends and making our first experience of working with clay a good one.
Let your toddler help you (or help them) flatten the clay or roll a piece of clay into a coil to make one of these projects, handle some small pieces of clay to make a few small decorations and ‘glue’ them on to the project by making them all shiny and wet with a finger of water.
Make a sweet tiny hand or foot plaque. They won’t stay this way for long. Preserve those memories! This one is a large plaque of Dad’s hand!
Your toddler will have fun making some small decorations. To finish, place a picture of your child in the frame.
Coil Pot Making coil pots from pieces of rolled out clay is a type of pottery that that was originally made in Central Mexico about 4,000 years ago. It became a traditional type of pottery used in South West America since 2,00 years ago. This coil pot is easy to make and can be embellished with handles, plaques, engravings and other decorations.
