There are many projects, which can be used in the classroom with modelling clays.

Many teachers ask students to sketch ideas and designs before they use clay, and also dedicate a lesson on teaching health and safety whilst using clay.

There are more basic activities to introduce the students to clay and how to model it to the best of their abilities.
 

The Pinch Pot Technique
This simple project is ideal for younger students who have not used clay before.

The Coil Technique
The coil technique is slightly harder than the ‘pinch pot technique’, but again is aimed at younger children.

The Slab Technique

Eraser clay creatures
