Clay birds (Pack 2)

Natural clay is one of our favourite resources in the woods. It is such a great medium for children to express themselves, can be used as part of many themes and will return to nature if dropped or left in the woods.

With this in mind we have included a packet of clay in our January Pack. The clay can be used to create literally anything. However, as we usually focus on birds this month we decided to have a go at making clay birds. In the pack we have included beads, feathers and a few natural things to get you started.

Clay could be rolled and cut to make a flat bird or sculpted to make a three dimensional bird.

You could find things to add texture to the clay,.

You could use the clay, feathers and natural materials to add features to your creations.

We would love to see your pictures of whatever you make!
