Plasticine is a type of clay that is squishy and easy to mold with your hands. It comes in many different colors, like red, green, and blue. You can shape it into whatever you want, like animals, cars, and even dinosaurs.
Some people like to use plasticine to make little movies called stop-motion animations. This means they take lots of pictures of their plasticine creations, changing them a little bit each time. Then they put all the pictures together really fast, and it looks like the plasticine is moving all by itself!
One of the best things about plasticine is that you can use it over and over again. If you accidentally squish your creation, just roll it back up and start again. And if it starts to dry out, you can add a little bit of oil or water to make it soft again.
So if you want to make some cool things with your hands, try out some plasticine! Just make sure not to eat it, because even though it looks colorful and exciting, it's not food.
