stories made of plasticine

In two small groups, the children dictated a story together, then split up the tasks of making characters and props in the story out of plasticine.

Although we do work with clay, I like giving the children plasticine - its very malleable, and it the colors help the children make distinctions between different parts of what they are making.  Even the youngest children feel successful.

Our next step is to photograph each scene in the story.
