Clay is flexible, allowing us to build and rebuild with it as many times as we would like. It can be used to express creativity, to make something functional, or just be fun!
The possibilities for open-ended play and experimentation develop dexterity, problem solving skills, and refining ideas.

Exploring Different Ways to Make and Build
Choose which type of clay is appropriate for your age group and activity. Mixing Play-Doh, Air-Dry Clay, and Sculpey is not recommended.
Allow time and space for experimenting with different ways of creating with the clay, and for making different shapes and textures.
Provide options for both open-ended and project-based activities.
Clay is a lot of fun on its own, but here are a few other ways to use materials in this kit. Have fun and explore!
