symmetry
By Margaret

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have moms make up recipes for "play clay" for me, just plain, not colored. Then using cookie cutters that I have collected and 1" diamter dowels I have cut for them to use as "rolling pins," I give the children about 45 minutes to try different shapes, cutting them out and matching the halves for symmetry. They, of course, love to play with the clay, but they do learn about symmetry.
