Malleable

Malleable Play


Malleable materials are great for developing children's fine motor abilities, and introduce them to different 'feels' in a fun way.

These activities are usually very messy and the children love them.

These are some of the malleable materials we use:
  • Sand (inside and outside)

  • "Magic" sand

  • Clay

  • Play Dough

  • Gloop

  • Slime (different kinds)

  • Shaving foam

  • Dough (when baking)

  • Paper maché

  • Jelly

  • Salt dough

  • Modelling clay (outside)
