We have become big fans of Sculpey polymer clay in this house. My children adore making tiny sculptures with it. We have several polymer clay idea books that are geared for children. Our favorites are the Klutz books which have great illustrations and even come with clay in a rainbow of colors.
Polymer clay can get quite expensive, so we find it is best to use it for tiny projects. If you are looking to do larger projects and use something more appropriate for small hands, you can make your own clay to bake. This is something that you do not color, but paint after it has been baked and cooled.
Bake and Paint Dough
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cups water
Mix and scupt as desired. Bake at 350 degrees
until dry but not browned. Cool. Paint as desired.
Have fun!!!
