As children grow and develop their fine motor coordination skills, sometimes it’s important for them to get their hands dirty! That’s where model making for children comes in. more
The tactile experience of working with different modelling materials is invaluable and they will gain great satisfaction from squeezing rolling and moulding, using cookie cutters or simply making their first sculptures. You can choose from a wide range of different materials, depending on the age of your children and the type of activity they’re undertaking.
For toddlers and small children, foam modelling beads or dough they can play with and reuse will be ideal, whereas for older children, air-dry clay or plaster of paris moulds, so they can create a work of art to keep, may be more suitable. Whatever material you choose, model making will offer many hours of pleasure and satisfaction on a rainy day!
