Balanced Plate Clay Project

 Description: For this project, we talked about what makes up a balanced plate, and then created three types of food we would put on our balanced plate. I created a carrot, a peach, and a slice of cheese. To create the carrot and peach, we practiced scoring the clay to attach other things to it. We also utilized various clay skills to roll out the clay correctly, practice cutting it out, and use water to smooth out the edges.

Extension Activity:

For an older grade, an extension activity that you can do would be for students to create their own animal out of air-dry clay, using different types of clay techniques to put their animal together.
