A method for reducing shrinkage variability of aluminum titanate honeycombs includes preparing an aluminum titanate-forming batch material that includes least one alkaline earth carbonate having a particle size distribution. The particle size distribution of the at least one alkaline earth carbonate is selected based on the predicted shrinkage during sintering of the aluminum titanate honeycombs.
