Created by artist Katriona Beales, our Family Art Activity Worksheets are jam-packed with ideas for creative play with clay. Don’t have clay? Don’t worry, we will show you how to make your own! You can do these activities at home with common household items and inexpensive art materials.
They were made for Autograph’s Family SEND Art Kits, sent out to families with children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). We’ve now made them available as free downloads for everyone to enjoy.
Download links for the 3 worksheets and watch our instructional videos below, showing you how to make a pinch pot, join pieces of clay, and create a stop motion animation.
