ClayPlay for Creative Kids

Little fingers love clay because its shape changes fast enough to keep up with their quick minds. ClayPlay involves toddlers in keen observation of how objects interact with their environments, while celebrating clay's endless possibilities. What will the clump of clay become this time? Elephants playing catch with a coconut? A tractor tilling the soil? Clay can magically become anything and everything. ClayPlay stimulates tots' creativity, and gives them a sense of their own vast potential.



Why don't you make your own "play dough" at home?
