Thanks for visiting this website! This is where you can learn about what your child is doing when they are able to come to art for 30 minutes every other week. We work hard during our time together while we are expressing our creativity.

Clay

We have been working on our clay.  The children have asked many times what kind of clay we have used and where to get it!!  It is Crayola Model Magic.  It can be found at places like Walmart or Shopko and maybe at craft stores such as Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

This clay is fantastic because:
1.  It doesn't stick to things, and it feels good.  It is very lightweight.
2.  It can air dry in about 24 hours.
3.  It can be painted with tempera or watercolor paints.  You can also use magic marker on it.

In art, we used all white clay, but it comes in many colors.

If you choose to get some, happy creating!!
