Are You Ready for Modeling Clay???
Yesterday a teacher buddy recommended a brand of clay for elementary-age students, but I must have written the name down wrong because I couldn't find it via my Internet searches. Oh well, I came across this interesting post from an artist-daddy and it inspired me to break out of my rut and try some modeling clay with students. I'm no artist but some of my students are and I think using the clay will provide them with great proprioceptive input to their finger joints, in an age-appropriate kind of way.
Welcome to a spot to share ideas for working with students in exceptional education in public schools. Please describe activities you've successfully used with students to improve fine motor and self-help skills. Creative classroom adaptations for sensory-based and ergonomic needs are sought. Technology applications, low and high tech, are appreciated. Above all--be positive and professional in sharing your experiences and ideas. Thanks.
HI
ReplyDeleteThat modeling clay package is from Hobby Lobby!! ha! I love Hobby Lobby so much and recognize that package! I looked on their site, but didn't see that particular package but I have see this one there. I believe its in the kid area around the school supplies, but they also have an art department with LOTS of clay options!!!
