In the clay area we have been exploring different animals shapes and sizes while creating our own animals.<\/p>\n

Will reading Dear Zoo we talking about the different features of the animals. We noticed some had long necks, big ears, 4 legs or even no legs.<\/p>\n

We introduce some animal shape models for the children to explore. The children had fun experimenting with different sized leaf\u2019s and sticks and were able to create there own unique animal.<\/p>\n

Once they were able to select their own leafs and sticks to create their chosen animal. The next step was to model the clay and transfer the sticks and leafs to create their very own animal to take home.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the children’s creations along with their comments while making them.<\/p>\n
