Christmas is nearing we all shout hurray!
Time to hang decorations hand-made from clay!

Esmee Pitman, age 7

What Esmee told us about her decoration: “My green clay Christmas tree.”

Image description: Esmee has designed and baked a Christmas tree in clay. It has patterns embossed into it – circles around the outside and two stars in boxes in the centre. It has a green glaze over it. The decoration is hanging from a Christmas tree by a piece of brown string.

Sienna Rose Wilson, age 2 (almost 3!)

What Sienna told us about her decoration: “Sienna Rose has decorated this beautiful Christmas tree decoration, which was made out of salt dough by one of the staff members at her nursery. The shape of the decoration is a Christmas tree and Sienna Rose used PVA glue to stick on three pom poms, one large purple one, a small white one and a small red one. She also stuck on a purple foam star, a pale blue heart jewel and a pale blue sparkly square, as tree decorations. The tree itself is green, with a hole in the top to hang from a real Christmas tree. To finish, Sienna Rose added blobs of glue and sprinkled silver glitter all over, to make her tree extra sparkly!”

Luca Frye, age 3

What Luca told us about his decoration: “I made an angel out of salt dough. First I added all ingredients to a bowl and mummy helped me mix, knead and roll out the dough. I then cut out the shape with a cookie cutter and pushed little bells in. When the dough had dried, I painted my angel. I hope you like it.”

Image description: Angel shaped clay decoration painted orange. The angel has three gold bells pushed into the middle to form a line. It is hanging from a Christmas tree branch.

Andoni Lucia Sanchez, age 10

What Andoni told us about his decoration: “Clay shiny Christian tree and a wooden coloured Santa”

Image description: Andoni’s clay tree is painted brown and decorated with lots of tiny shapes and sequins. Down the middle he has stuck a larger felt yellow star and blue and red pom poms. Near the top he has stuck a toy coin. Sitting next to the tree is a carboard Santa which Andoni has painted beautifully with red and white paint. He is decorated with sequins and a black belt.
