You may draw it for your play house.

On an eight-inch square of paper draw sixteen two-inch squares. In the center of each, lay an inch tablet. Draw around it.

With the pencil, color the squares like the squares in the picture.

Look at bowls at home and in stores. Choose the shape you like best. We will make one out of clay.

Does it not seem strange that you can make a lump of moist clay into a beautiful bowl?

With the thumbs, press a deep hollow in the lump of clay for the inside of the bowl. Press and pull up the outside into the shape you wish. If you need more clay, work in a small lump at a time.

Let the bowls stand one day to dry. Then wash the inside with a glaze. When the bowl is very dry, it is ready to be baked in the kiln.

This clay match-safe is not so easy to make as the round bowls we have made.
