Making Things: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🏺 A potter’s family
In a seaside town, Mini watches her Appooppan make a pot. He wets the clay, pounds and kneads it, and shapes it on a spinning wheel. Her mother bakes the pots in a kiln, and the family adds patterns.
🧪 Make your own clay
With elders, children collect wet soil, sieve out pebbles, soak it in water for a few days and shape the dough into things to dry in the sun.
🦓 Patterns in nature
Spots on a leopard and stripes on a zebra are patterns. Artists copy shapes and colours from nature to decorate pots.
🧱 Brick by brick
Bricks are made of mud in moulds and baked in a kiln. Rohan watches a wall grow brick by brick into a building.
🏠 Many kinds of houses
In warm places, people build mud houses with grass, wood and cow dung to stay cool and keep insects away.
⛑ Safety first
Rohan’s father wears a helmet, a safety vest and strong shoes at work. We should follow safety rules too.

Making Things Class 3 FAQs
What is Making Things in Class 3 EVS?
Making Things is Chapter 11 of the NCERT Class 3 book Our Wondrous World, in Unit 4 Things Around Us. Children learn how a potter makes pots from clay, how bricks are made, how houses are built from different materials and why safety rules matter.
How is a pot made?
The potter makes clay wet with water, pounds and kneads it like dough, shapes it on a spinning wheel, dries it and then bakes it in a hot oven called a kiln. Patterns are often added to make the pot beautiful.
What is a kiln?
A kiln is the potter's oven. The fire inside a kiln bakes the clay so that the pot becomes hard and ready to use. Bricks are also baked in a kiln.
How can children make clay at home?
With the help of elders, collect soil from a wet place, remove pebbles and leaves with a sieve, soak the soil in water for a few days, pour off the top water and make dough that can be shaped and dried in the sun.
Where do patterns come from?
Patterns are found everywhere in nature, such as spots on a leopard, stripes on a squirrel or zebra and the arrangement of neem leaves. Artists get ideas from these shapes and colours.
How are bricks made?
Bricks are made of mud in moulds, like an idli or a cake mould, and become hard after they are baked in a kiln. They are used to build houses, schools and hospitals.
What are traditional mud houses made of?
In warm areas, people make mud houses with natural materials like mud, grass and wood. Cow dung is used on walls and floors instead of cement, which keeps heat out and stops insects from coming in.
What safety rules does the chapter teach?
Construction workers wear a helmet with a strap, a safety vest and sturdy footwear. We should follow safety rules at home and at school too.
