Roll ball of clay.

Have kids push two holes close together with their thumbs as far as they can go without going through. 

Turn the clay ball so that they put two more thumbprints. You can tell them it kind of looks like a four-leaf clover.

Use hands to pinch around the edge and make sure not to make walls too thin. 

Use fingers to pinch in small petals around the edge of the bowl. 

Use a clay skewer to cut in the flower petals.

Use the end of the skewer to lightly poke holes for the seeds in the inner part of their flower.

Kids can use water to smooth out any rough areas. We always instruct them that a little goes a long way and to not make “mud pie”.
