What's Halloween without candy corn?


The 3rd graders made these awesome candy corn bowls out of clay! First they rolled the clay out, then using a template of a candy corn, they cut out the candy corn shape. We lined styrofoam bowls with a damp paper towel and then gently put our clay candy corn in the bowl. We let the clay dry in the bowl. Doing this gave our candy corn bowls a bit of a bowl like shape. They were fired in the kiln then the kids used yellow, orange and white glaze to paint them. Clear glaze was added to give it that shiny, glossy look and then they were fired again. Voila! Ceramic candy corns!
What fun would it be if we didn't eat actual candy corn out of it? So we did! These are sure to be a favorite each and every Halloween!!
