52 Projects to Make, Model, and Mold with Air-Dry, Polymer, and Homemade Clay

In Clay Lab for Kids, art teacher and winner of the Netflix bake-off show Nailed It! Cassie Stephens presents 52 hands-on projects made with kid-friendly clays that get kids working creatively and thinking three-dimensionally.

Squishy, colorful, and infinitely shapable, clay just might be the most versatile art material for kids. Author-artist-teacher Cassie Stephens has created all-new clay projects for
kids of all skill levels . Start with the basics of
rolling ,
coiling , and
pinching pots , and move up to making ‘Jurassic fossils, ‘ animal marionettes, monster magnets, and boxes with secret compartments.

All of the projects use
kid-friendly, no-kiln clay (air-dry, homemade, and polymer) and
water-based paints , perfect for home and classroom, plus there’s an entire chapter of recipes for mixing up inexpensive homemade clays in the kitchen.

When creating with clay, kids are introduced to a wide range of
cognitive and manual skills : they’ll work
three-dimensionally ; make figurative models;
use their imaginations in making jewelry and toys;
design with color; and
decorate  with paints.
