All children love to sculpt various figures of animals, fairy-tale characters from plasticine. Modeling develops the child's spatial thinking and gives an idea of the shape of objects. In addition, it contributes to the development of fine motor skills of the hands. Choose good quality plasticine for training with your child. It is difficult to sculpt from too soft plasticine. Hard plasticine is hard for children to knead with their hands. Do not give small children plasticine with fruity smells, so that they do not have a desire to try it.
