Of all the malleable materials available, the nature of clay means that children’s internal ideas can suddenly become real and visible. In fact, playing and working with clay opens up many new learning opportunities for children because it can be moulded by any age group to become… absolutely anything.

This teaching pack helps educators consider how to introduce clay into all areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through new, practical ideas mapped against clear learning objectives. It’s also a lot of fun!
