ClayPlay for children from 4-years-old. We create heroes and worlds they live in, fairy tales, stories, and daily situations. We wedge, roll, press in, nip off, model and discuss what is happening with clay. In joyful and playful interaction with clay kids develop motoric skills, imagination, apprehend connections, learn to communicate, and get empowered while experimenting in open and safe creative atmosphere.

Duration of ClayPlay is around 45 minutes. One small clay object will be kiln fired and returned within 2 weeks. Materials, instruments, aprons, and firings are included.

Our ClayPlay activities will be based upon favourite Russian tales, stories by Doctor Seuss, Eric Carle, Maurice Sendak, Julia Donaldson, and such topics as Monster Marvel Whale, Dinosaurs, Town, Market, Big Feast, Gardening, Sea of Clay and others.
