\"Plasticine<\/a>I love how classic products I used as a child are still available today, especially when they have such great developmental properties such as Plasticine (a registered Trademark of Flair Leisure Products plc). Recommended from ages 3 and over, at pocket-money prices, encouraging the creative side whilst helping to hone in fine motor skills. I was sent a variety of different sets of Plasticine to share my honest opinions of them.<\/p>\n

My Thoughts on Plasticine<\/h2>\n

\"PlasticinePlasticine does not shrink or harden, and can be used again and again. Plasticine is easily manipulate into shape with a bit of pressure, or by using the tools to perfect the required shape. Models can easily be created, changed and adapted – perfect if a mistake is made, or just something new wants to be added or taken away from the masterpiece. Then they can be taken them apart and something new can be built – providing hours of fun. Colours can be kept separate or mixed together to create new shades. They are a great way of designing without the mess, although it did leave hands feeling like they could do with a wash. I liked the packaging and how there was not much waste, but apart from the Funtubulous, there was no way of storing the Plasticine until the next time it is used. I found the shapes hard to get out without breaking (particularly the plane) and disappointing that my Leonardo had a purple mask. Other than that I thought it was super fun and good for self-esteem as it was relatively easy to follow make some impressive looking models.<\/p>\n

Plasticine Prices and Sets<\/h2>\n

\"PlasticinePlasticine does not just have to be used with itself though and I have seen some fantastic creations using all manner of objects like spaghetti, gems, googly eyes – the possibilities are endless. The\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Squidgems<\/a> (\u00a31.49)\u00a0have a sheet of card to add to the 4 Plasticine sticks and simple step by step instructions on how to make your own Leonardo, Donatello, Michel Angelo or Raphael (each Turtle sold separately)<\/p>\n
