Monster Craft Maxi Kit - Fun Monsters

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 8 yrs.

Slow down while letting your fingers and creativity play. Creative play allows your child to let their imagination roam and concentrate on creating something beautiful - and all the while, their fine motor skills are developed.

You’ll find all our toys for creative play right here. Here you can also read our tips for making space for your child's many crafts and creative projects.

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

Monsters have an important place in your child's play, because they expand your child’s idea of what a friend can look like. Moreover, monster play is popular with children of all genders, which inspires kids to play together across their different interests, like princesses, swords, or cars. And monsters give your child’s imagination free rein - 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. Normative rules of anatomy don't apply, and your child will feel proud to introduce you to their new monster friend, who, thank goodness, is far from normal.

We carry playdough of many different colours and types and different firmness levels. Firm playdough stimulates your child’s proprioception by providing a bit more resistance. For instance, 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 be still for just 6 more minutes - or help them deal with long car or train rides without wiggling around in their seat. In particular, for children who experience motor restlessness, playing with something that engages fine motor skills, hands, imagination, and proprioception while sitting still can help them stay calm.

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

Of course, 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.
