For this weeks lesson you will need to use your playdough again, (if you need to make some more use the recipe from last week)

This week we are going to think about making sausages -

Can you make a sausage shape from clay – first by making a ball, and then, by applying hand pressure, alter its shape to a sausage, but do not make it too thin. 

Can you make a ball of playdough and then alter its shape to a sausage, but do not make it too thin.  Then can you half what you have made and to continue rolling one half of it between your hands to make thin strings.

How long can you make a string before it breaks? (Expect some to break easily).

Now can you use the strings to make a coil pot.
