The children will be making five basic shapes: an egg shape for the body, a sphere for the head, a triangle for the beak, and two "drops" for the wings.
Attach the head by scoring the both sides with a plastic fork. Add slip (which is watered down clay - this is like glue that will attach the two pieces.)
Attach the beak in the same manner.
Attach the wings.
Smooth the clay with a wee bit of water on your finger. Let dry.
