The children have been having a fantastic time exploring Stone Age life through jewellery making in our Gem Groups. We began by researching different types of Stone Age jewellery, learning how early humans used natural materials like bones, teeth, and stones to create decorative pieces.
Inspired by our findings, the children then designed their own unique pieces. Using clay, they carefully moulded shapes to resemble animal teeth and bones, just like people might have done thousands of years ago. Once the clay had dried, we painted our creations using earthy tones to reflect the natural colours of the Stone Age.
The results were amazing — each necklace was full of character and creativity.
