An air-dry clay activity inspired by the colors and atmosphere of fall. Children explore materials with their hands, shape forms, and create their own pumpkin lantern. The finished piece can be displayed as a seasonal decoration, making it a wonderful fit for fall, Halloween, or Thanksgiving-themed activities. Through the process, children naturally develop fine motor skills, focus, sensory awareness, observation skills, imagination, and creative expression.
The PDF guide includes guiding questions, observation activities, activity steps, and extension ideas designed for a variety of learning environments.
The kit includes the PDF guide and materials needed for the clay-making activity.
