Nature-Inspired Clay Creations 🍂

7th Jun 2026

Last week, the boys went on a nature walk to collect leaves and had great fun exploring the different shapes, patterns, and textures they discovered. Using their leaves as inspiration, they pressed them into clay to create beautiful prints, carefully observing the intricate details each leaf left behind.

The boys then cut around the leaf shapes to make their very own leaf-shaped bowls. On Friday, they added the finishing touches by painting their creations, bringing them to life with vibrant colours and lots of creativity.

It has been wonderful to see the boys engage with nature, develop their fine motor skills, and express their artistic talents through this hands-on activity. We are so proud of their fantastic work and the beautiful bowls they created! 🍁🎨✨
