Kaleidoscope of personality

Clay modeling and sand therapy are children’s favorite activities. Children enjoy working with natural materials. These activities are both entertaining and developmental. Clay modeling and
sand therapy help to develop creative skills and skills of interpersonal interaction. In addition, both activities have a calming effect on children and help to relieve stress.

Clay modeling develops memory, attention, imagination and figurative thinking. Moreover, rolling with palms and fingers, pressing, pounding, shaping and forming clay strengthen their
muscles and tendons. Besides, this activity allows children to express their emotions; promotes sensory development (clay offers tactile and visual sensory learning experience). While working
with the clay, kids learn to concentrate. Furthermore, clay modeling builds self-esteem, aquires a sense of competency, power and control over his/her environment.

Sand Play therapy helps children express themselves in multiple ways. This activity promotes sensory development; lets children express their creativity; develops social skills (when children build something together); gives them the opportunity to learn something through play, and has therapeutic benefits.
