I’ll bet your parents still have them; those fabulously innocent and imperfect clay things which you brought home for them on a special day way back when. I think they’re charming and are the stuff made of family folklore – mine is a pen holder that’s a head with spaghetti-esque hair. Here are a few ideas for some clay play although I’m not sure they’re tasteless enough – you can also buy clay which air dries or make your own.

If you have a kid concerned with sophistication then this fab tutorial from The Secret Stitch Club is just the thing.
