Today, we tried out
Super Lightweight Air-Dry Putty
for the first time. We are going to use some for Art Group on Monday so I figured we had better test it out first. It has a really strange texture. It is extremely light weight and super stretchy. The girls went completely wild over it. It is such a great sensory tool- totally unlike salt dough or the clay we usually use. They spent forever digging their fingers into it and stretching it. It is almost completely mess free because it doesn't crumble or stick to anything. We will definitely be using it quite a bit in the future.
The first thing New Fish made was a little pinch pot with strings draped over it to make it look like a bird's nest. As soon as she finished it (shown above) she promptly destroyed it and spent an hour stretching the clay and twirling it to make all of these multi-layered organic shapes.
Red Fish created a bird's nest with eggs, worms and a bird sitting on top. I thought it was pretty impressive.
I'm looking forward to trying this product with the group!
