3. Pottery making & painting –

When I was a kid I really enjoyed Pottery & Clay modelling. Making a flask out of the potters wheel is an incredible achievement. And it doesn’t just stops here. Then comes the imaginations, art & creativity, to design the flask. I still remember making such flasks & painting them with beautiful oil colours. I used to top them up designing some grapes or roses (with clay). They looked awesome & I still relish those times. Those masterpieces are still decorating my parents house, which gives me a sense of pleasure.

Pottery & pottery painting is a perfect blend of traditional & modern ways. While designing something out of the potters wheels inculcates the effort & makes kids realize the importance of villagers opting it as their lifestyle. Painting & designing will definitely spice up the lives of kids & adults as well.

Let me share you the benefits of Pottery & Clay modelling here :

1. Even a kid tagged as “hurricane” will have to be calm here:). It is a relaxing & easy going activity & there is no space to rush here. Get that calming effect, it is a time to arise your senses to create something amazing. While doing pottery, imagination takes over hyper activeness of kids.
2. Family Time : Its perfect way to spend a day with family, wherein all can easily create & help each other developing their own masterpieces. [Attention! Grab your wall fast, else your kids will not let you take any;)].
3. Expression : The moment your kid holds that colorful clay, he is ready to mould & give it a shape. This allows kids to express their emotions or thoughts in a naive manner. Your kid could simply make a tree and paint it Red instead of Green. That’s his imagination, he could be thinking of spring time, when tree gets laden with beautiful red flowers. Further, if the design doesn’t works out, they can easily re-mould it for a better shape. This allows kids to reach near perfection.
4. Social & Emotional Skills: This art comes out more beautiful when done in group. When kids work in group, it develops social skills in them. When your kid creates his design, it gives a sense of self esteem & builds confidence, which is must for emotional development.
5. Cognitive Skills: Pottery helps kids understand shapes, dimensions. They have to decide how much clay to put on to balance up the castle, to ensure that the tree remains steady & doesn’t falls over. It makes them understand the basic concepts in a practical way.
6. Sensory : And not to deny, hand -eye coordination, muscle development, fine motor development happens along the fun way!
