From 2D to 3D: Bringing Dinosaurs to Life Through STEM! 🦕

What a fantastic day at camp as our young creators transformed flat 2D dinosaur puzzle pieces into impressive 3D dinosaur models and then brought them to life with color and creativity! This hands-on STEM activity encouraged children to think like engineers and designers as they carefully followed step-by-step directions, analyzed shapes, and visualized how individual parts fit together to create a complete structure. As they assembled the dinosaurs, they explored concepts of anatomy, balance, spatial awareness, and problem-solving while developing patience, focus, and perseverance. The final painting stage allowed them to add their own creative touch, turning a structured engineering challenge into a unique work of art. Activities like these help children understand that great creations happen one step at a time—through observation, planning.

A wonderful morning at The Spinning Wheel as we welcomed the young learners from La Mere Academy for an immersive pottery experience! The students spent two engaging hours exploring both pottery wheel throwing and hand-building techniques, learning how clay transforms through creativity, patience, and skill.

From centering clay on the wheel and shaping their own pieces to creating unique hand-built projects, the children experienced the joy of working with their hands while developing focus, coordination, and confidence. Beyond the artwork they created, the session offered a valuable opportunity to step outside the classroom and learn in a completely different environment—one that encourages exploration, imagination, and self-expression.

We loved seeing their excitement, curiosity, and pride as they discovered the magic of clay. Thank you, La Mere Academy, for spending the day creating with us at The Spinning Wheel!

Our young artists had an exciting hands-on ceramics session at The Spinning Wheel, where they learned the fundamentals of working on the pottery wheel by centering, opening, and shaping clay into their very own bowls. After mastering the basics of wheel throwing, they explored hand-building techniques, learning how to sculpt, attach, and personalize clay as they created adorable animals that were embedded into their bowls. This combination of wheel throwing and hand-building helped develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, problem-solving, and creative thinking, while giving each child the opportunity to transform a simple bowl into a one-of-a-kind functional work of art.
