Pukeko Swamp Eggs

Our class loved to read our big book, called Swamp Eggs.  There were lots of pests that tried to eat the pukeko's eggs.  We decided to make our own clay egg nests.  First, we made pinch pots.  Then, we shaped them to look like nests.  We smoothed the inside of the nest with wet sponges and added texture to the outside with tooth picks.  Next, we rolled clay into balls for eggs.
