Younger children often spend a lot of time playing with clay. While building items with clay is a great way to encourage creativity as well as fine motor skills, older kids may begin looking for creative options that present more of a challenge. That’s why we love this set. It includes a pottery wheel, sculpting tools and metallic paint along with two pounds of clay. Children can use the included guide to learn the basics of crafting on a pottery wheel and sculpting with tools. The set teaches children to make items such as pencil holders, jewelry holders and even smartphone speakers. Getting to build their items out of clay and then paint them afterward in a design of their choosing is a great way to encourage children’s self-expression.
