4th Grade Day of the Dead Skeletons

These skeletons and flowers are made from Cloud Clay.  We painted the backgrounds with tempera and Modge Podge first, then created the skeletons and flower decorations.  Lastly, we painted the whole thing with another layer of Modge Podge.  These skeletons are attached forever!  
Such a fun lesson to teach!!!

    1. Thanks!!! I LOVED every minute of this lesson!!! However, I kind of wish I had the kids paint black backgrounds... the bright warms are nice, but I bet they would have popped more with black paint.
