Clay Models Book

Clay gives a child something to shape, squash and try again, and this book supplies the ideas. Mamta Garg sets out simple modelling projects a beginner can attempt without special tools, starting from basic rolled and pressed forms and building towards recognisable models. Each project is short, which suits a young child's patience, and the results are meant to be handled rather than displayed. Working the clay steadily improves grip strength, concentration and hand-eye coordination, so the craft carries its own quiet benefits. Inside the covers: • Beginner clay projects built from simple rolled and pressed shapes • Step-by-step guidance that calls for no specialist equipment • Short projects matched to a young child's concentration span • Hands-on work that develops grip and coordination A good choice for craft-minded children, art teachers and parents planning holiday activities, written by Mamta Garg and available at Boipoka.
