Pinch Pots

Another year, another batch of Kindergarten Pinch Pots!!!

Start by making your clay into a nice round ball....

Then hold your clay in one hand and give me a 'thumbs up' with the other...

Then poke your thumb way down into your clay ball (but not all the way through!)...

When you take your thumb out, you'll see you have a bowl...

But that hole is TOO TINY!  I could only fit 2 M-n-Ms in it!  

we need to fix that....

Do you know how to pinch?

Let's Pinch, Pinch, Pinch the sides of our bowl to make that hole much bigger.

We can fit about 100 M-n-Ms in these bowls!

Now to fire, glaze, fire again.... kindergarten parents, if you're reading this, pretend to be surprised when you open your Christmas Present....
