The kids and I used some modelling clay and make a tea set to play with. We played with this clay a few weeks ago and made a few of PK's favorite things. Today we tried along a play set, and it turned out surprisingly good!
The teacups were soft and "out of shape" before we baked them. I wasn't sure if the clay would harden enough for me to hold the teacup with just the handle. But after baking, the teacups are sturdy and yes, I can hold them with just the handle!
PK learnt fast and made a few bowls and "noodles" and "cookies" for pretend play.
Isn't it amazing to see the kids play pretend? We have many tea sets but a DIY one turns out to be a lot of fun too!
