Remember how in elementary school art class, they’d give you a little blob of clay for your project and no more? Remember how you’d have to steal a piece to squish and squash in your hands the rest of the day? No? Just me?
Well, criminally small public school budgets aside, playing with clay is fun. It’s natural and substantial and full of possibilities, and kids love it. So the other day I bought some cool black clay from Hobby Lobby and let the kids have as much as they wanted. Cheered a dreary day right up.
Parenting win.
