Modelling Clay Tool Kit

For many children, squishing and shaping modelling clay is even more fun with the right tools for the job. 

This set includes:

• Red and blue modelling clay (90 grams of each)
• 5 clay extruders in different sizes 
• Rolling pin with interchangeable patterned discs
• Knife

The activity supports skill development and is wonderful for your child's well-being:

• Gives your child a relaxing break and a calm moment in an otherwise eventful day.
• Benefits your child's awareness of shapes/colours.
• Supports your child's creativity.

Suitable for ages 2 yrs. to 6 yrs.

For instance, when your child needs to sit still and pay attention to a story, it’s fun to knead and squeeze various kinds of playdough, clay, or sensory slime while listening. It magically sharpens your child’s concentration, even though it is in fact a type of distraction.

Your older child can make anything from pink elephants with spots to princesses and knights and bring their funniest ideas to life. For small children, playdough is mostly about the sensory experience.

We carry playdough of several different types and colours and with different hardness levels. Firmer playdough stimulates your child’s proprioception because it offers more resistance when played with. For example, firm playdough is perfect for making stop motion movies, because it holds its shape better.

This activity is quiet and can help your child be still for just 6 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 create a sense of calm.

Playdough can be water-based or oil-based, and each type has its own advantages. You can soften water-based playdough by kneading a bit of water into it. But oil-based playdough remains soft for several years.

Naturally, 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.
