This was a spin off activity from exploring the box of driftwood that arrived. The girls had been using some lovely descriptive words to describe the markings in the wood and I thought they would enjoy exploring the textures further by making some marks in clay with them.
Rolling the balls of clay into smooth balls provided a challenge for the younger ones!
They were all spoilt for choice with the wide array of textures to choose from! and found creative ways of using the markings (see below).
Faith particularly enjoyed this - I remember one year we made prints this way using flowers from the garden. Faith made a dandelion montage - every time she went for a flower, she brought a dandelion in various stages of growth! It made for a really lovely keepsake of her toddler interests - I still have them now!
I particularly liked the one in the top middle row, and the wormwood ones turned out really prettily also!
