Hey Clay Ocean Set – 6 Cans of Air-Dry Modelling Clay

Dive into colourful creativity with the Hey Clay Ocean Set, a soft modelling clay set that invites children to shape, sculpt and create their own underwater-inspired characters. With six cans of air-dry clay and free access to the HEY CLAY app, this engaging craft activity combines hands-on exploration with guided modelling ideas.

Suitable for children aged 3 years and over, the Hey Clay Ocean Set offers opportunities to explore colours, experiment with shapes and bring imaginative ideas to life. Children can follow the app’s guidance or develop their own designs, enjoying the process of turning soft clay into something personal.

Soft Clay for Hands-On Discovery

The Hey Clay Ocean Set features lightweight, flexible modelling clay that is extremely soft and non-sticky. Its easy-to-sculpt texture allows children to explore rolling, flattening, pinching and shaping as they investigate what the material can do.

Start with simple balls or flattened shapes, then combine them to create more detailed designs. Children can adjust their work while the clay is soft, trying different forms and discovering how smaller parts can come together.

The tactile experience provides opportunities for sensory exploration, with the focus on handling the clay and observing how it changes through movement.

Create an Ocean of Ideas

The ocean theme provides a starting point for imaginative modelling. Children can sculpt underwater-inspired creatures, invent unusual sea characters or explore patterns and shapes drawn from their own ideas.

The bright colour assortment adds variety to each creation. Children can choose colours for different features, compare their choices and describe the character they are making.

Hey Clay Ocean Set activities can be as simple or detailed as the child prefers. A small shape can become a complete creation, while more confident modellers can experiment with additional details and combinations.

Discover the HEY CLAY App

Free access to the HEY CLAY app introduces an interactive guide to creative clay modelling. Children can explore the modelling guidance with an adult, then put their ideas into practice using the clay.

The app offers a useful starting point when children want inspiration, while leaving room to personalise their work. They can follow a suggested approach, change the colours or use a technique they have discovered to create something different.

Combining guidance with practical making gives children opportunities to observe, try and adapt.

Make, Dry and Keep

Once a creation is finished, the clay air-dries and hardens in 24 hours. Children can keep their completed models, display them or include them in imaginative play once dry.

Keeping finished creations gives children something tangible to revisit and talk about. They can describe how they made a model, invent a story around it or plan another character to join their collection.

Creative Learning Through Play

Rolling and positioning the clay provides opportunities to practise controlled finger movements and hand-eye coordination. Planning a design and joining its parts also encourages practical problem-solving and creative choices.

Whether chosen as a birthday gift, Christmas present or activity for home, the Hey Clay Ocean Set brings colour, texture and imagination together in a craft experience children can make their own.
