Review Plasticine Sets
My daughter absolutely loves crafting. She will sit and play for hours making and creating and playing with modelling clay is a go-to activity. We have had small sets of Plasticine in the past and loved them and with the Easter holidays upon us we were excited to check out more of the range.

What age is Plasticine For?
Plasticine is aimed at children over 5 years old right up to adults.
Playing with the Plasticine Sets
Plasticine unlike over modelling clays and dough doesn’t try out or shrink and can be used over and over again.
On opening, the Plasticine needs to be squished and squashed to soften it up. The idea sheet also shows that you can mix two colours of Plasticine to make different colours on shades.
On seeing all the sets my nine year was over the moon with all the different colours available and cutting wait to start to playing with the tools.
She decided her first project would be an Easter scene starting with a carrot, a bunny and basket of eggs. Before moving on to making large Easter eggs.
I also couldn’t resisting joining in going an Easter chick.
Never wanting to be left out my husband soon set to making a sheep and pig going for a spring animal theme.
My daughter was really excited when it was all finished using one of the mats that came in the bigger sets as a backdrop.
What We Thought of the plasticine Sets
My daughter has not stopped playing with the Plasticine since we got it. She has loved that it is easy to mold and smooth into any shapes and has really enjoyed combining the colours to make new ones.
I also have really playing with it nearly as much as her. I forgot how relaxing Plasticine could be and the fact that it never dries out is a big plus.
It is great to see that all the sets offering something different with the choices off lots of colours, extra tools and cutters or little tubs for those like me who like to keep the colours seperate.
Best of all it has been lovely to see my daughter really enjoying a non screen activity especially as Plasticine holds some great memories from my childhood.
