Crafts with children: recreate the ocean with plasticine

The plasticine serves to open our imagination as far as we want to take it. With it (in addition to any craft we do with children) we can do anything we can think of. Now that we are in summer and in contact with the sea (the vast majority), it is a good time to make crafts with elements that we find on the beach and on the rocks. With a little blue plasticine and another of earth color, a few scallops, shells of mollusks and conch shells, we can recreate a authentic plasticine marine sanctuary.

With the help of these materials and the child's imaginationIt is amazing what can be done. We can make figures of fish, shark fins, whales, simulate the waves of the sea, tails of mermaids (we can put glitter to the clay to give it a more real air).

In Kids Activities Blog, they explain us what benefits does play with plasticine have for children: from learning to work as a team, sharing materials, drawing new ideas together, telling stories and making voices pretending to be the characters, learning new techniques to assemble, hook, build ... in short, a game like any other that makes children grow and learn without realizing it.

Very soon I will explain, a step by step tutorial, how to make homemade modeling clay with natural ingredients.
