Melissa & Doug Shape, Model, and Mold Clay Activity Set – 4 Tubs & Tools

Ignite young creators with the Melissa & Doug Shape, Model, and Mold Clay Activity Set. This inviting kit invites kids to squeeze, roll, stamp, and mold their ideas into tangible stories. Four bright tubs of modeling dough come in red, yellow, blue, and green, each topped with an adorable animal-shaped lid that doubles as a little display piece when not in use.

The set also includes a patterned wheel press to pattern surfaces, five easy-grip wooden stamping cubes to leave friendly prints, and three wooden rolling pins featuring unique textures. Sized for small hands, the tools are designed to be comfortable to hold, encouraging kids to experiment with different shapes and patterns as they build confidence with their own hands.

Learning through play
