Modelling Clay 4 x 140 g - Light Colours

Here’s a set of modelling clay in four lovely colours: orange, pink, white, and a beautiful raspberry red. 

This modelling clay from Djeco is approved for children from 18 months and made from ingredients that are safe if your child decides to have a little sample. That means licking your fingers while modelling is perfectly safe. Just remember to wash your hands after play.

It’s a good idea to stay close by when your little one is playing with the modelling clay, just in case they unexpectedly develop a taste for ocean-level salty treats.

The modelling clay is soft and doesn’t dry out easily. Still, remember to put it back in the tubs and close the lids properly after use. This prevents drying out and also helps avoid surprise clay blobs on the wall after leaving your little one unattended for a moment.

Suitable for children aged 18 mos. to 5 yrs.

For example, when you need to sit and pay attention to a fairy tale, it’s fun to knead and squeeze various kinds of sensory slime, clay, or playdough while listening. It magically improves your child’s concentration, even though it is in fact a form of distraction.

Playdough lets your bigger child make anything from pink elephants with spots to knights and princesses and bring their funniest ideas to life. For the littlest ones, playdough is mainly about the sensory experience.

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

It’s a calm activity that can help your child stay still for just six more minutes - or help them deal with long train or car rides without restlessly moving around in their seat. Particularly, for children who struggle with motor restlessness, fiddling with something that activates their hands, proprioception, imagination, and fine motor skills while sitting still can help them calm down.

Playdough can be either water-based or oil-based, and each has its own advantages. You can soften water-based playdough by mixing in a bit of water. But oil-based playdough tends to remain soft for years.

Naturally, all the different types of playdough, sensory slime, and modelling clay we carry at ToyAcademy are CE-marked and approved in accordance with current toy safety regulations - just like all our other products.
