Clay Modelling Workshop (2-Day Program)

Description

Clay modelling is a fun, hands-on creative activity where children transform soft clay into colourful, tactile art. Using their hands and simple tools, kids learn to roll, shape, sculpt, and decorate their own creations - from cute animals to imaginative characters, functional pots, and decorative figurines. It’s a wonderful way to combine creativity, problem-solving, and sensory play, giving children a sense of achievement while improving important developmental skills.
