A garden of colour for little hands. Kids press soft air dry clay into the raised outlines of two wooden butterfly designs to make bright, textured 3D butterflies. There is no paint and no mess, and everything is in the box: clay, sculpting tools, stands and instructions.

Why Kids Love Clay Colouring

Each wing is its own little section to fill, which makes this a lovely first clay project. Kids can match the colours on the box or invent their own patterns, and the sculpting tools add stripes, dots and texture.

About the Butterfly Designs

Two butterfly boards with clear raised outlines, sized just right for small hands. They are a gentle introduction to sculpting, and the finished butterflies stand up on their stands to brighten a desk or windowsill.

How It Works

1. Pick a colour. Choose a clay colour for each section of the raised outline.
2. Roll it soft. Warm a small piece in your hands and roll it into a thin sausage or ball.
3. Press it in. Press the clay into the section and smooth it to the edges with your finger or a tool.
4. Add texture. Use the sculpting tools to add lines, dots and patterns.
5. Dry and display. Leave it flat to air dry, then pop it on its stand.
