Did you know clay is one of the most powerful tools a child can hold? ✨
In the Reggio Emilia approach, clay is a language — a way for children to think, feel, and make sense of the world with their hands. And the way they use it grows right alongside them.
In our Nido room, our littlest ones meet clay for the first time — poking, pressing, pinching. Discovering that their hands can change something in the world.
By VPK they’re building upward — working the clay vertically, learning how to make it balance, hold, and stand. Turning ideas into something real.
From that very first poke to the tower that finally stands, every stage is a window into how a child is thinking. 🌱
This is what learning with your hands looks like. Just one of the hundred ways children discover the world at KLA. 🩵
