A monster friend inspires your child to think about acceptance in their world. Monsters are different and are often portrayed as dangerous in stories and fairy tales. We often respond with suspicion or fear when something is outside the norm.

Playing with monsters expands your child’s understanding of what a friend can look like. Also, monster play is popular with children of all genders, which opens up a world of shared play across other interests such as trucks, princesses, or swords. And monsters let your child's imagination run wild - because it's completely up to your child to decide what their monster looks like and whether it has eyes on its knees, antennas, five arms, or three ears. Monsters don’t have to look "perfect" (in a normative sense), and your child will proudly play with their new monster friend, who, fortunately, is anything but normal.

We carry playdough of many different types and colours and with different firmness levels. Firm playdough stimulates your child’s proprioception by providing a bit more resistance. For example, firm playdough is excellent for making stop motion movies, because it holds its shape well.

It’s a calm activity that can help your child sit still for just seven more minutes - or help them deal with long car or train rides without fidgeting and moving around in their seat. Particularly, for children with a lot of motor restlessness, playing with something that engages proprioception, hands, fine motor skills, and imagination while sitting still can help them stay calm.

Oil-based playdough tends to remain soft for several years. You can soften water-based playdough by kneading a bit of water into it.

Naturally, all the different types of playdough, sensory slime, and modeling clay from Toy Academy have CE-marking and are approved in accordance with current toy safety legislation - just like all our other toys.
