I made clay pots today with my friends ! It all started out when i was digging a hole in my yard. Then, my friend Lexi came over to play. She helped me make the hole deeper. Then we saw one of our neighbors Maddy come over and then we noticed that the soil in my yard was clay soil. So Maddy thought that we should make pottery out of the clay and then after the clay dried we could paint it. So, Lexi started digging more and I would take the clay stuck on the shovel and make a pile. After that Lexi got tired of digging and helped Maddy with the pottery. So I had to do the digging. Then I thought we dug the hole deep enough so I joined Maddy and Lexi to help with the pottery. We made cups, lids, plates, a banana, a turtle and a “mud ” man. Then we lost interest and Maddy went home. Lexi and I made a few more pots and then Lexi left. I made a HUMONGOUS pot and then was about to leave it to dry on my playset but then daddy came out and said it was going to rain so I said just put it in the little clubhouse above us, but daddy said the wind might blow the rain through the windows. I said lets move them to the garage. So we put it in the wheelbarrow and moved them to the garage and put them on car mats. I am going to paint them and upload the photo to my blog.
P.S . My mom told my dad that the clay soil was put to good use at last since her vegetable plants didn’t grow well in it.
