Youngsters enjoy using their imaginations, and playdough is one of the best ways to encourage this creativity. However, what if they could shape and mold something that is edible? This is where "edible" plasticine comes into play, allowing kids to play while parents can relax.

You don’t have to worry about dangerous substances or unintentional consumption when using edible plasticine. It’s a fun, interactive activity that promotes sensory development and provides a snack all at once. Additionally, it’s easy to make edible dough at home with your kids and can be done quickly.

This enjoyable craft is a wonderful way to spend quality time together as a family and gives your kids the freedom to experiment, explore, and yes, even taste their creations. Let’s get started on creating this delicious and safe playdough at home!

Features

The majority of parents are curious about what age a child can play with plasticine. The solution is straightforward: observe your child closely, and you can safely introduce plasticine as soon as the child shows an interest in toys and walks.

Playing with plasticine should be a regular part of a one-year-old’sday.

To interest your child in modeling, you need to present this activity to him as a game, but in no case should you force him to model. To do this, you can try to sit next to him, take plasticine in your hands and mold the simplest figure, for example, roll a sausage. The baby will certainly want to know what it is and take it in his hands. In addition to rolling sausages, you can also use other simple manipulations with plasticine. For example, even pinching off pieces or kneading it in your palm will be beneficial. You can also try to roll a bun, while decorating it with some elements to get an interesting craft (for example, by adding a leaf with a sprout to it, you will get an apple).

It is advised that children as young as one year old model using dough or soft plasticine. Any parent can select a suitable soft modeling mass option for their child from the plethora of options available on the market today. These products almost always have a distinct softness that gradually hardens when exposed to air. As a result, the completed figurine solidifies in a few hours. A hardened toy dropped on the ground will cause the craft to bounce off the surface like a ball, which is another characteristic of such a mass.

The tale of a child’s formation and understanding of the world is told through their early crafts. You can display them on a shelf with the baby’s other accomplishments and feel proud of them. Tell everyone about your intelligent child as they grow older.

Give your child tasks that are progressively more difficult by demonstrating how basic tasks can be combined to create more complex ones. Additionally, a baby can learn how to make tiny appliques by starting with pieces of plasticine stuck to a board or piece of cardboard shaped like a picture. You can pick the quickest and easiest crafts from the enormous selection of plasticine crafts. You could demonstrate to your child how to make a mushroom or a snake, for instance, by rolling a sausage and adding an eye to each side, or by rolling a short sausage and putting a flattened ball’s cap on it.

How to organize a lesson?

You can adequately prepare your child for the process of becoming familiar with plasticine by following these suggestions:

• Prepare a workspace for creativity. It will be enough to find a place for activities with the child and lay a newspaper or other unnecessary material on the work surface.
• Prepare the baby for the process of modeling. Give him some plasticine, you can even give him the box itself. Let him examine it, smell it, touch it. After all, this is his first acquaintance. He should know what kind of “thing” he has in his hands.

• Show him how to handle a new thing for him. To do this, take the plasticine in your hands and do simple manipulations with it, described above.
• Show the molds for working with the modeling material. Teach the child to use them. Mold some figure with their help.
• Prompt the baby. Teach him to determine the color of the craft. Advise on the choice of color for a certain type of toy (crocodile – green, car – yellow or red).

• Express your admiration to the child his skills. Praise his crafts. Put them in a prominent place, be proud of them.
• Teach your child to wash their hands after sculpting and clean up their work area after themselves.
• The first acquaintance with plasticine should not take more than 10 minutes, the time can be gradually increased.
