On our Summer list is modelling with air drying clay. Dragons and dinosaurs for the garden, to be specific. The children have done a fair amount of clay modelling at school in the last two years. My favourite is still their fruit collection. In the absence of a kiln, we opted for air drying clay.
As I finished the photos, eldest appeared and took over with instructions for smoothing away cracks in the clay.
Mother: “But that one is already dry.”
Eldest: “No problem. The wet paint brush will sort it out.
So there you are. Move over Mother. Your job here is done. (Love moments like this.)
Linking up to the forever inspiring #AlphabetPhoto. It’s “M” today, if you hadn’t guessed. Also celebrating twelve years of surviving being a mother. Happy Birthday, AJ.
Fabulous models, such concentration. A lovely activity, and how great that they are for the garden x #alphabetphoto

They’ve been fortunate to have a very talented teacher at school who has really brought it out in them.
