Hatching Dino Egg Pinch Pots: 1st Grade



There are so many pinch pots you can make before you're like..."HOW CAN I JAZZ UP THIS LESSON!?!?!?!"  I've made frogs & fish out of them in the past....but this year I've decided to do a dinosaur unit with my 1st grade.  So our pinch pots became dino eggs!!  The kids loved this idea....though the dinos were a bit tricky for some.  I can't wait to see what hatches the rest of the week!

  3. I bet the kids had a blast making these. I just use air-dry so I don't do anything too complex or it will break. Oh well, we make up for it in other sculptural ways!!
