””Claywork can be a language for exploring and communicating ideas. Like drawing, clay work enables children to to make their ideas visible - but in three dimensions. It can be an exciting experience for young children to discover that they have made something with a ‘back’ and ‘sides’ as well as a ‘front’ and even an ‘inside’ and ‘underneath’.” - Ursula Kolbe, Rapunzel’s Supermarket " I made an X marks the spot." "I made a road." It feels great to press and mold clay - colder and a bit stiffer than play dough, but satisfyingly easy to mold into the shape you want to create. We just played - with no end product in mind - but ended up with some great cakes, faces, and round shapes. "Play doh is different colors, but clay is only one color." "It smells like a bouncy house." "It's harder to play with." "It feels squishy." "I know where it comes from, it comes from other clay." "It's daddy's face. He looks a little freaked out."
