The Clay Baby Jesus Ornament happened because my first project bombed. You may ask, "What was the first project?"
This was the first project:
To me, the coil Christmas Tree Project seemed simple enough. You roll out snakes. You stack the snakes. You slip and score the Christmas ornaments on tree. Uh, no. Not simple. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the fourth graders. Sometimes, you got to just chunk it in the trash and restart.
In the following week, I had found a great little project that seemed perfect. And, it was just that!
Directions:
I rolled slabs and cut circles.
The kids made Baby Jesus.
The kids slipped and scored.
I fired.
The kids painted.
I put their name and year on the ornaments and glued the wire on back.
LšK!
I love this project. I will continue to do it with fourth grade until the end. Hopefully, 30+ Baby Jesus will be hanging in 30+ homes on December 25.
Glad Clay Baby Jesus won. Again.
