Content
Clay is a natural material that can be shaped and molded. Before we use clay for making pots, we need to collect it, knead it to make it soft, and remove any dirt or stones to ensure it’s smooth.
Kneading Clay
Kneading clay is a fun and engaging activity that helps children learn how to make the clay soft and moldable. It involves pressing, rolling, and folding the clay with their hands.
