I found shallow paper strawberry containers at a reduce/reuse art materials place. I thought they might be the perfect thing to inspire small strawberry clay pinch pots. I had the students break their clay in half, and then break each of those halves in half (bringing in the idea of fractions Whole, 1/2, and 1/4). We did not write names on them, but created them “factory” style…where everyone was making strawberry pinch pots, and you knew you would get four back to paint & take home. We started by creating small pinch pots, and then pinched the outside to make it into a strawberry shape(I had picture references up on the board). After firing, students painted them with tempera & took them home the same day! The kids loved the project, and I heard from many teachers & parents that they too loved the project.
