Playing with plasticine is a wonderful activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages! It is a type of modelling clay made from a mixture of wax and oil that can be easily moulded and shaped into various forms.

Available in a variety of colours, Plasticine is an amazing way for children to express their creativity and imagination as they can use it to create different characters, animals or even landscapes. This can help to encourage them to focus their mind as they try to create something new and exciting. It also helps children develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they learn to manipulate it. Immersing their fingers in the clay in this way can also be a great stress reliever, helping to calm them.

Plasticine, is synonymous with clay modelling, boasting a long and successful history, dating back to the 1930s. It was originally invented by an art teacher, Willliam Harbutt as children’s modelling clay that does not dry out, is non-toxic, sterile, soft and malleable. Its success has been so great that it is also linked to Oscar winning films, which are made in clay animation including those of well-loved characters Wallace and Gromit.
