I taught little guys many years ago...
the thing the parents loved was an
arrangement of the family sitting on a couch...
narrative ceramics/figurative in a setting
with description of family dynamics.
Charming results and fun.
All clay, and relatively small scale.
Figurative...
For scale, I had the kids make cylanders/hollow
that could be threaded or stacked on rebar, and
placed in the yard to create scale...
self portraits that were life sized.
Large animals, I had a giraffe.
Also place settings, plate, silverware, and
food items in clay for those of us who were hungry.
I used a red earthenware, and
an O6 glaze, opaque white with zircopax
and lots of colors of mason stains and
gerstley...for color.
Mixed one glaze and had lots of color
choices.
I was most interested in how the kids processed
problem solving tasks, really interesting.
Fun for me to watch.
