- aprons

Instructions
- Set out a variety of unfinished pottery pieces. You can get these from Oriental Trading (1 dozen per package) or stop by your local craft store.
- Each child received an apron, place mat, paper plate, and paint palette.
- Paint pottery with acrylic paint.
- Allow about an hour for painting and 90 minutes for drying (including the clear coat of spray paint at the end). If you are painting outside, it dries pretty quickly! I just like allowing a little extra time for kids who like to glob on extra thick coats of paint.
- Have an area for finished projects to dry. A blow dryer speeds up this process.
- Spray each finished project with a coat or two of glossy clear spray paint.
- Package pottery in paper gift bags for easy transport.
