Thanksgiving Clay Cornucopia







Small clay foods are made to insert into the clay cornucopia.

A large clay triangle is folded into a cone and stuffed with towels to stay open.
The towels will burn out in the kiln firing.  The clay food is glued in with clay slip.
We use this same cone standing up for our Christmas tree.

What a Surprise!

Wow! What?  I was given the Me Encanta TĂș Blog Award in my first week of blogging from the blogger I most admire, Deb, from Living Montessori Now!  How cool is that!  What incentive for a newbie like me.

Thank you, Deb, for all your hard work and connecting so many teachers!
