Creativity Street Extruded Modeling Clay, 1 lb. Total, 4 Multi-Cultural Assortment 4 Sticks : Everything Else

Description

Hi! My name is Cassie Stephens and I have been an elementary art teacher for the last 23 years. During that time, I can easily say that I've tried just about every art supply on the planet. One thing I've learned for certain: not all art supplies are created equal! I've seen my students struggle and become frustrated with art supplies of poor quality. Over time, I've learned what art supply brands to avoid and which ones are the best to put into the hands of my students. What you will find here are those art supplies! Each has been kid-tested in my art room and come highly approved by both my artists and me. Give your kids the gift of great art supplies and watch them soar! I love using Creativity Street Modeling Clay in my art room! It never dries out. An alternative to creating temporary practice sculptures is one of my favorite lessons: Miniature Clay Portraits! Using the Multicultural Assortment, my students have created both self-portraits and portraits of the teachers, faculty and staff at our school. To make the piece permanent, we coat in clear nail polish! Texture Paint Scrapers are one of my Deserted Island Art Supplies…meaning that if I were stranded on an art teacherin’ deserted island this is what I’d need. Texture combs would be it, every time! My students and I love them because of their instant gratification (they always inspire plenty of "oohs" and "ahhs") and endless possibilities. Want to know something that’s great for fine motor skills for our young artists? Stringing beads! What I love even more about these is that they add a literacy component that my students absolutely love. I use these beads with my younger students as a part of a clay lesson where we create their first initial from clay. Afterward, they spell their names out with the beads, or simply pick out letters that they recognize. Permanently soft modeling clay is great for artists of all ages. Colors can be blended to create new colors! Item #PAC4097-01 is a four color multicultural assortment that includes ¼ lb. sticks in each color and comes in a total of 1 lb. It is wrapped in poly and featured in a retail-friendly box with product viewing window. All modeling clays are non-toxic. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
