Clay Pencil Toppers This fun school craft is perfect for older autistic kiddos looking to practice more advanced skills. They can design their own pencil toppers, putting not only their fine motor skills to work but also creativity and patience. What you'll need: Air-drying clay Pencils Plastic wrap Mod Podge Paintbrush Instructions: Create the body of your pencil topper. Make sure it is large enough to sit on your pencil, at least the size of a quarter. Create and add all of the other decorations to your pencil topper. It's important to do this before you place it on your pencil. Once your design is ready, take a piece of plastic wrap and cover the eraser side of your pencil. Gently push the pencil into the bottom of your design's body. Your design might get a little squished out of shape, but you can fix it as you go. Have someone hold the pencil for you if it is easier to adjust the design this way. Once the design is on the eraser, place the pencil in a cup and allow your design to fully dry. Do not remove the pencil; without it, the hole could close while drying. Once the design is dry, use Mod Podge and a paintbrush to add a layer of glue over your pencil topper. Make sure to add thin layers to avoid clumps on your design. Allow the glue to dry before removing the pencil and the plastic wrap. Then it's ready for school!Download Now!
