AMI-X Air Dry Clay

 2 Ingredient

Air Dry Clay

Artists are very creative people and can come up with lots of ways to make art, even if they don't have a lot of supplies. 

Have you ever used something that isn't an art supply to make art? Maybe cardboard, masking tape, a sock, leaves...

This week we can explore that idea by making our very own clay! The best part is it only uses 2 ingredients that many people have at home, Flour and Hair Conditioner. Watch this video...

Recipe:

1/2 cup Flour (or cornstarch)

4 Tbl. Hair conditioner (or lotion)

If you enjoyed this activity, there are many other recipes for making clay. I found several by doing a search for 'air dry clay'.

Don't forget to share pictures of your creations on our Facebook Page!

The Mitten

 Do you have a special pair of mittens? Or maybe a special hat or blanket that someone made for you?

Today we are going to listen to a story about a boy and his mittens.

We are going to make our own mitten, and a collection of animals to put inside.

Invitation to Create - Snowmen

 

Tis the time of year for all things cold and wintery, especially Snowmen! 

But we don't always have snow to build one with.

Is there anything else we could use when we get the inspiration to make a snowman?

'Snowballs' is a book that might give us some ideas.

Can you make your own collage snowman?

Can you use your imagination and give your snowy friend a personality and a name?
