In Clay Lab for Kids, art teacher and winner of the Netflix bake-off show Nailed It! Cassie Stephens presents 52 hands-on projects made with kid-friendly clays that get kids working creatively and thinking three-dimensionally.
Squishy, colorful, and infinitely shapable, clay just might be the most versatile art material for kids. Author-artist-teacher Cassie Stephens has created all-new clay projects for kids of all skill levels. Start with the basics of rolling, coiling, and pinching pots, and move up to making "Jurassic fossils," animal marionettes, monster magnets, and boxes with secret compartments.
All of the projects use kid-friendly, no-kiln clay (air-dry, homemade, and polymer) and water-based paints, perfect for home and classroom, plus there's an entire chapter of recipes for mixing up inexpensive homemade clays in the kitchen.
When creating with clay, kids are introduced to a wide range of cognitive and manual skills: they'll work three-dimensionally; make figurative models; use their imaginations in making jewelry and toys; design with color; and decorate with paints.
The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, bugs, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus—all authored by established experts in their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids.

      Starred review from July 1, 2017

      Nashville-based art teacher Stephens ignites children's creativity in this collection of kid-friendly clay projects. Both air-dry and polymer clay are covered in detail, with an assortment of recipes for homemade clay (including the classic salt dough, as well as unique concoctions such as candy clay and brightly colored Silly Putty). The projects are arranged as "labs"; each has its own illustrated instructions for a completed item. Throughout the book, she introduces basic pinch and coil pottery techniques, simple sculpture, and surface decoration in a manner that children--and young-at-heart grown-ups--will enjoy. VERDICT Ideal for families looking for artistic activities, as well as teachers and caregivers interested in introducing clay to children ages five and up.
