The best thing about being a kid is discovering all the great and wonderful things that life has to offer. While many of the pains and frustrations of adulthood are held at bay—whether by naïveté or design—children are usually free to explore the worlds of nature and the imagination. They may like to go on impromptu hikes, chase butterflies, or play a pickup game of football in the front yard. But children also like to test their minds, through reading, writing, music and other creative endeavors. When they see what they can do when they begin to communicate through the creative process, a whole new world of excitement opens up before them.
In this free kids’ crafts video series, learn how to nurture the growth of your child’s mind and imagination, as well as how to train them to create—through clay pottery in this instance. Our expert will give you some basic instruction on how to make pottery and what craft supplies you need. Then get some free ideas and projects to work on, including a Christmas ornament and a pinch pot. Finally, learn how to use a pottery wheel, and how to teach your kids to use one.
