By modeling small details with fingers, the kids develop hand motor skills, thereby improving their memory, improving the functioning of the speech apparatus, coordination and imagination. All this will be useful to them in adulthood. For girls and even boys, food made from plasticine with their own hands, which they try to make like real, is of great interest. Firstly, children are interested in the process itself. Secondly, by inventing a menu for dolls, they realize their imagination. Thirdly, imitating adults, children learn to live in our complex world.
