So when parents are buying, they usually give the baby a can of silly putty to play alone. This makes the baby busy with playing, think freely and also make their little hands more and more flexible.
Second, open the door of imagination for the baby
In the beginning of play plasticine, even rubbing a long coarse stick with modeling clay will be an extraordinary work for the baby. They may imagine the stick as a long worm, a snake, or a chopstick, etc. Under the guidance of parents, the baby will complete doing a hemp flowers, a snail, a noodle, a fish etc. which greatly develop their imagination and improve their confidence.

Offer some auxiliary materials for the baby when it is necessary, such as toothpicks, feathers, promote the baby using his brains, better foster their divergent thinking.
