Kindergarten - Swedish cookie stamps  - Students will learn about traditional Swedish cookie stamps made out of clay and wood.  They will make their own version by rolling a wedge of clay into a ball and then flattening it into  a 1/2 " disk shape.  They will use a variety of clay tools to choose how best to draw a design in the clay disk.  The handle will be created by rolling another piece of clay into a 2" coil and attaching to the disk.  After firing in the kiln, the handle and top of the cookie stamp can be glazed.
