Reception- Making a Clay Bog Baby
Date: 15th May 2026 @ 11:46am
After reading the magical story The Bog Baby, we were inspired to create our own tiny creatures. The story, about two sisters who discover a mysterious Bog Baby and learn about love and letting go, sparked lots of imagination!
Using clay, we carefully built our own Bog Babies. We practised important sculpting techniques such as slip, score, and blend to securely attach the wings, legs, arms, and tails. This helped ensure that all the body parts were firmly joined and would not break off.
Next, we will be painting our Bog Babies and creating habitats for them to live in.
Watch this space to see our finished creations!
