Bread Clay and Paint

My granddaughter's third grade class finished their animal sculptures today.

I made up many batches of bread clay--made with white bread, glue, paint and glycerin.  In a few days this clay dries very hard.

I made up little packets for each student.

They added on lots of different features with the clay and beads.

I'm pretty pleased that all of the animals can stand on their own--also I really liked the addition of the clay--not only was it fun to use, but it added character to their sculptures.
