So this is a lesson that I did last year as well - but this time I decided to make it my 4th grade clay project instead of my 5th grade clay project (which actually worked pretty well - same awesome results). Some of my classes glazed their cupcakes.... While some (because of time constraints) used tempera paint... If you'd like a more thoroughly written lesson with step-by-step directions and an instructional video? Check out my store! Also available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store!
