Rattles

5th Graders learned how to make clay rattles using the pinch pot form they learned in 4th grade (see clay fish examples). Students were asked to add clay and texture to their rattle. We used acrylic paint to finish. They turned out great!

Clay Fish

This is one of my favorite lessons to do with the 4th graders. I can't remember where I found this lesson, but the kids love it! We talk about different clay building methods making a pinch pot for the mouth and coils for the lips. Students then add their own "accessories."
