Such a satisfying activity. If you liked Play-doh and plasticine when you were a kid, you’ll love clay. I recommend starting with something simple, like a little dish, a pinch pot, or even just a shape like a heart. Squeeze off about a 1/3 cup of clay from a brick of clay (I have both Dollarama and Omer Deseres quality, so far I can’t tell the difference). Keep a damp cloth close by to keep the clay pliable. On that note, once you’ve opened a brick of clay, keep it sealed in a bag with a small damp cloth as well until it’s used again.
