Easy Art for Kids: Clay Bird Nests

MATERIALS:
•Air dry clay
•Feathers
•Small beads

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut off a golf-ball-size piece of clay. Roll into a ball then poke your thumb into the center. Keeping your thumb in place, press the edges outward to create a pinch pot bird's nest.
2. Cut off another piece of clay and shape it into a bird with a body and head. Use feathers for the tail or create one from clay.
3. Cut off a third piece of clay and shape it into eggs.
4. Poke small beads into the nest, eggs, and bird as decoration. Use a toothpick to poke holes and designs in the clay.
5. Let dry!
