You will need: a shallow lid such as a small biscuit tin; plaster of Paris; bowl and spoon; paper and pencil; pieces of broken patterned crockery
What to do:
- Mix the plaster of Paris with water to the consistency of double cream and pour it into the lid.
- Arrange the pieces of broken crockery in the plaster of Paris.
- Leave to set hard.
- Children can draw round the lid on a piece of paper and arrange the crockery pieces inside this shape, then transfer the pieces from the paper to the plaster of Paris, maintaining the same arrangement.
