My niece spent an entire rainy afternoon mixing the plasticine to invent her own colors, and the instruction booklet's animal ideas kept her engaged way longer than I expected. The clay stayed soft and workable even after being rolled out repeatedly, which made cleanup a breeze for me.

The box includes enough clay for two kids to play side-by-side, and the animal molds are sturdy enough for little hands. My daughter was so proud of the little dog she made, and the colors mix easily without getting too sticky.

My 6-year-old has spent hours mixing the colored plasticine to make new shades, and the animal-shaped cutters are a huge hit. It's kept her busy and creative without any screens needed.
