Clay Club - 2022

They can squish it, poke it, punch it, roll it, pile it, mold it and shape it. Playing with clay is incredible for students’ development. Sensory skills are strengthened as they manipulate the material into different shapes, along with their eye/hand coordination and motor skills, both gross and fine. Working with clay can be therapeutic, as it is a positive way to express emotions, and relieve stress. Clay is an adaptable material, therefore mistakes can be repaired which allows students to feel free to experiment, which in turn allows opportunities for students to learn from their mistakes through a fun and safe process.
