We have encountered a new type of clay material, this one is really really soft, very fluffy, and hardens like a foam after a day or two. I am not sure if this is the clay that they called foam clay or silk clay. But i think it’s texture is perfect for little fingers like my daughter’s. It is much easier for her to handle and build shapes with. Although this seems a little bit more expensive than the usual clay, and one has to be very careful when handling this, because in it’s soft state, it is quite easy to stick to fabrics and papers. So I suggest to place it in a smooth plastic surface when working with it and when drying.

We bought ours at Toys R Us, it is packaged as a set for a type of food (burger, cupcakes, donuts, ice cream), for HK14.00 per set. But I was able to find a cheaper alternative at some local stationary stores.

I have already disposed of the Toys R Us packaging/box, but when we visit the store again, I will try to get a photo of it.

So here are Janna’s soft clay food creation. Looks yummy! Now we can play bakery store. Two play option in just one toy.
