FIMO Plastic Modelling Tools, 4 pcs

Here, essential skills are engaged, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Develops your child's fine motor skills.
• Fires up your child's creativity.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 8 yrs.

For instance, when your child needs to sit and pay attention to a fairy tale, it’s fun to knead and squeeze different types of clay, playdough, or sensory slime while listening. It magically sharpens your child’s concentration, even though it is really a type of distraction.

For the littlest ones, playdough is mostly about the sensory experience. And older children can use playdough to bring their wildest ideas to life. Playdough lets your child make anything from three-headed aliens to princesses and knights.

We carry playdough of many different colours and types and different hardness 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 the shape holds better.

It’s a quiet activity that can help your child sit still for just 5 more minutes - or help them endure long car or train rides without wiggling about in their seat. Particularly, for children with a lot of motor restlessness, playing with something that engages fine motor skills, hands, imagination, and proprioception while sitting still can help them calm down.

Oil-based playdough tends to remain soft for years. You can soften water-based playdough by adding in a bit of water.

Of course, all the different types of playdough, sensory slime, and modeling clay we carry at Toy Academy have CE-marking and are approved in accordance with current toy safety regulations - just like all our other toys.
