Crocodile workshops using clay

60 hungry clay crocodiles created last Monday afternoon! Had great fun leading an artist-workshop for enthusiastic and imaginative Year 3 children at Pikes Lane Primary School, Bolton, as part of their Arts Week.
Used air-drying clay, pipe-cleaners, feathers, sticks, cardboard and scrapstore materials....plus plenty of inspiration from Roald Dahl/Quentin Blake's 'The Enormous Crocodile'. The feathers are from the Roly-Poly bird, who just escaped the crocodile's jaws in the story.
