1st Grade- Heart Necklaces

What better time to discuss wearable art than around Valentine's Day? We made heart charms using clay. Students rolled out the clay into slabs and cut out hearts using templates provided. Next, students decorated the hearts using stamps and various clay tools. Some students even stepped on their clay to create a shoe print.

After the clay was fired, students painted their necklaces and put them on strings. Each student made 4 charms.
