Native American Pinch Pots
Fire up early interest in art and history. Shape colorful pinch pots inspired by Lenni Lenape pottery!
1. Pottery making is a tradition around the world. This project was inspired by the Lenni Lenape, Native Americans who lived in the eastern United States.
2. To create pastel colors for your pottery, color white Crayola® Model Magic® with color from Crayola Washable Markers. Knead the modeling compound with your fingers to blend. Keep adding washable marker color until you have the shade you want.
3. Shape Model Magic into a vase, bowl, or other pottery. To create a simple pinch pot, press your thumb into a ball of Model Magic. Shape and smooth the inside and outside of your pot.
4. If you wish, use a craft stick or plastic dinnerware to etch designs into the Model Magic. Wash your hands with soap. Dry.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
