Plasticine has been around for such a long time, but it is still one of my favourite mediums to use with kids for modelling. The colours are really bright and it doesn't go hard or dry out. Joining is easy, just press together, and tiny details can be made by kids from prep to grade 6. It does leave tables and hands a little oily, but some soap and water cleans it all up easily.
These models were made by students from Grade 2. We read a story about jungle animals then looked at some pictures of plasticine models for inspiration. Some students made a paper background and drew a simple scene to help put their models in a context.
