A few weeks ago a fellow homeschooling friend invited my 3rd and 8th graders to hangout at their house with their 6th grader. By the way, isn't that awesome that these girls of different ages and mix so well and be really close friends? I think it's a beautiful thing and not commonly found outside the homeschool arena.
Anyway, this friend had an overwhelming influence on my girls and their new love of Sculpey Clay!! They learned that their baking addictions can manifest in the form of miniature Sculpey replicas of their baking delights! So much fun creating mini versions of edible treats! The only problem: When they got home they were totally bummed that they did not have any sculpey of their own to continue the fun.
I was able to let my oldest cash in her tickets (I'll blog later about our ticket system) from last quarter and she used the money to buy her own set of Sculpey clay. And fortuitously, my 3rd grader just recently turned eight and received a set of oven-bake clay as well! How about that! It all worked out. Our home is now a sculpey home and these two girls have really enjoyed exploring what they can do with this new medium. It's a wonderful way for them to wile away the hours together dreaming up new items for the bakery they will someday own.
We found these storage trays in the bead section of Joanne's for about $3.00. We bought the clay tools a while back on Amazon.

The girls have toyed with the idea of selling their mini delights as dollhouse accessories on Etsy! Fun idea! I haven't ever tried selling on Etsy but it might be a fun adventure.
