Kitchen Play Clay
On Saturday, Ty and I made clay from salt, cornstarch, water, and food coloring. Kyle and Taylor joined us at the table, and we sculpted people, a giraffe, a rainbow, several rocks, and lots of little worms.
Taylor showed me just how messy she can get with the freshly colored clay – which isn’t too messy after all. Behind her is the art that we have been working on all week.
This is Ty’s creation. It looks to me like people sitting around a campfire with a dog. The artist agrees with the notion that they are people, but he claims that the center piece is a rainbow and not a campfire. And the dog is really a giraffe.
It was a good Saturday. The television stayed off the whole day. Things were relatively quiet. We colored and made crafts like these. When we weren’t coloring, the boys were playing with their cars, Taylor with her kitchen, and the babies with each other. I continued my work with a quilt. Dad prepared the next week’s dinners.
