helps kids development in many ways. Every child needs experience that
matches his or her development level. Playing with clay involves both left and
right brains. Left brain focuses on the discipline and right brain creates the
imagination. It helps to resolve stress and offers positive division. It promotes
sensory development. In teaching Mathematics also, clay modelling is used in
classrooms. Students of class IX have made some 3D shapes from clay
