"How are you going to teach clay modelling to your kids?" my friend asked me, somewhat incredulously. "I'm not." I replied, confusing her even further. I knew she was asking me because I had no experience with clay modelling. But what you'll soon learn (if you haven't already), is that you don't teach much of anything in homeschool. Children learn on their own, if you can just provide them with what they need. I've seen this over and over and over again, and it's so beautiful to see. And so far, it's exactly what I am...

Today we are going to make a clay model of a plum. This is the 3rd model from the book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin. A few weeks ago, we thought it would be a good idea to work through all 60 models in the book, despite never having done clay modelling before. As we settle into a routine with this, we are quickly conquering the apprehensions that we had originally felt.

We've decided to tackle the book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin, with its 60 different models.

Our first model was an orange. The setup was almost as involved as the execution. The cleanup was even more involved. However, the process of clay modelling was absolutely enjoyable. For some reason, it's soothing to have your hands in dirt and water. ...

We are starting our Happy Handicraft clay modelling series, with the plan to work through each model in the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. We've never done clay modelling before, so we're going to be learning about this as we go along. The first model in the book is a clay model of an orange, so that's where we are going start. Here are a couple of things for the teachers to enforce: Make sure every student has their own modelling board with an armature, along with a sponge, a tool, sufficient clay, and a model. Enforce neatness....

Anyone here a fan of Valentine's Day? I stink at Valentine’s Day. I never know what to give my dearest husband, so his gift usually ends up being some awkward card. My kids, on the other hand, spend weeks creating all manner of Valentine’s Day crafts. I’m sure the intention is to give them to my husband and I on Valentine’s Day, but they never even remember to. I’ve seriously considered doing the same thing for my husband. For this Valentine’s Day, I thought I would be a little more organized, and take care of the parents’ gifts and the Valentine’s Day...
