Early Explorers explored the wonderful world of monsters this week!
We started by reading When A Monster is Born by Sean Taylor and Nick Sharratt and then learned how to turn a simple pinch pot into the gaping mouth of a monster using Play Dough. We practiced making eyes by rolling little balls, a long tongue by rolling a worm and then flattening it, and then used ceramic tools to cut out triangle shapes for teeth. After the break, we'll do this again with real clay and fire and glaze our very own monsters! Some of the children were so excited, they even made monster drawings!
