Spring is in the air, we've made Bird Nest pinch pots with air dry clay

For the past two art classes the K-3rd grades have been working on creating bird nest pinch pots. We looked to photographed pictures of birds and birds with nests. We talked about the Robin and how they are usually one of the first signs of spring and how they are the state bird of Wisconsin. The children really enjoyed working the clay and learning how to construct a pinch pot. Then we painted the nest with acrylic paint, and used acrylic spray coat to seal them. I cannot wait to display them for the art show this spring.
