Kindergarten Bird Nests



These little beauties were made by our kindergarten artists. The nest are made by rolling a ball of clay, making a hole with our thumbs and pinching the clay into the shape we wanted. We used forks to add texture to the nests, giving an illusion of grass or twigs. The eggs were made by rolling balls of clay and forming them into egg-shaped ovals. Blue and brown glazes finish them off with a lovely shine.
