Sculpture "Birds" Grades K - 3

Birds are an excellent first sculpture project! They are familiar to students and are made with nice simple shapes.

Birds can be made with any sculpture medium. Choices include kiln-fired clay (firing not included), air-dry clay or plastiscene.

The bird pictured above is made with potter's clay, bisque-fired then glazed and re-fired. Similar sculptures can be acheived using clay or air-dry clay and paint. Ordinary dry-clear white glue will make a glossy coating!

Many birds have been made as Mother's Day gifts!
