It is proven that clay helps children develop hand and eye coordination as they pound, pat and push the clay into shapes and objects. Clay also helps children develop the small muscles in their fingers and hands, known as fine motor skills, as they pinch, squeeze and prod the clay, adding detail to the shape or object. Every box you buy will contain an exciting different variety of shapes and moulds that will help you put together anything from a healthy fruit snack bar to a yummy dessert.
