Let's Get Our Hands Dirty

Pittsburgh, PA Grades PreK-2

My Project

All of the items in our project are materials that we can experience with our hands. We can learn about their textures, their special properties and use them to create our own masterpieces.

Having two types of sand and two types of clay will allow us to compare and contrast.

We will talk about how the sand is the same and in what ways they are different. We can discuss the different types of clay and how we will use them for different purposes.

Our students love working with their hands and will absolutely love these materials!
