This review is from: Preschool Art: Clay & Dough (Paperback)

I think kids love clay and dough more than any other art medium ... and this book gives you ideas for making your own recipes with the kids, and then exploring how the doughs/mixtures react, and also making things!! The book also has some other sculpture projects thatkids love and are excellent for birthday parties or classrooms alike. These are some of my favorite ideas of all!! I hope you will enjoy them too.
