Choosing super clay for children is not only about choosing toys, but also about protecting their creativity. Faced with a wide range of products, how should parents make wise choices? The core is always around the three dimensions of safety and non-toxicity, age-appropriate and easy to use, and inspiring creativity.

🔒 Safety cornerstone: non-toxic and harmless, playing with confidence is the bottom line

Authoritative certification is a talisman: Be sure to look for the safety logo on the package. Compliance with the national GB 6675 toy safety standard is the basis, and internationally accepted EU EN71, US ASTM D-4236 and other certifications add more protection. These certifications mean that the clay has passed strict tests such as heavy metals and migration of harmful substances.

Transparent ingredients are reassuring: Prefer products with simple ingredients, natural and environmentally friendly (such as flour🌾, water, salt, and food coloring). Resolutely avoid clay containing harmful substances such as borax (risk of excessive contact), talcum powder (may contain asbestos impurities), and phthalates (plasticizers).

Fresh and non-irritating smell: If there is a strong pungent smell when opening the package, it is often a signal of inferior materials or volatile harmful substances, so be sure to give it up decisively.

🧒 Age-appropriate matching: Different needs of small hands and big creativity

Children under 3 years old: safety is everything

Core appeal: Absolutely safe (risk of accidental ingestion), extremely soft, and easy to clean.



Ideal choice: Edible clay (ingredients such as flour, water, cooking oil, and food coloring, which are harmless if ingested in small amounts) or ultra-soft and ultra-light clay designed for infants and young children (the applicable age and safety certification must be clearly marked). For example, the basic safety series under Yalong Super Clay has a soft and gentle texture and meets strict safety standards. It is a safe choice for young children to explore the world of shaping.

Guardianship points: Adults must closely supervise the whole process to avoid small particle accessories.

Preschoolers aged 3-6: Colors and imagination fly together

Core appeal: Safe and easy to operate, bright and rich colors, stimulate imagination, and easy to preserve works.

Ideal choice: High-quality ultra-light clay is the mainstream at this stage. They are light, extremely soft, ductile, easy to mix colors, not sticky, and the works can be naturally air-dried and shaped. The classic ultra-light series of Yalong Super Clay has rich and pure colors, excellent ductility and non-sticky, good shaping effect after air-drying, and with safe plastic molds, it can perfectly meet the children's imaginative creation needs at this stage.

School-age children over 6 years old: advanced exploration and fine creation

Core demands: Stronger plasticity and detail expression, rich materials and effects, and support for complex creation.

Ideal choice:

Advanced ultra-light clay/soft clay: The texture is more delicate and suitable for making fine models or accessories (soft clay needs to be baked at low temperature for shaping, and adult supervision is required for operation). Such as the pearlescent/metallic color series or soft clay series of Yalong Super Clay, adding more professional texture and possibilities to the creation.

Ultra-light cream soil: Decorate the work like squeezing cream, and make the "dessert" theme fun.

Special effect clay: Contains glitter, pearlescent, luminous and other effects to increase the attractiveness of the work.

Bonus experience: Keep fun and creativity fresh for a long time

Color and color mixing: Rich basic colors (red, yellow, blue, white, black, etc.) are the starting point for color mixing. Clay that is easy to mix with uniform new colors can greatly enhance the fun of exploration.

Easy to store and not crack: Independent small packages with good sealing or cans with lids are preferred, which can effectively prevent the clay from drying and wasting. Yalong Super Clay is mostly packaged in sealed boxes or independent small bags for easy access and storage.

Clean and convenient: High-quality water-soluble clay can be easily handled with a damp cloth or clean water if it is accidentally stained on clothes or desktops.

Fun tools: Safe plastic molds (animals, letters, etc.), rollers, cutters, embossers and other tools can significantly expand the gameplay and enhance the sense of achievement.

💎 Wise choice: brand, details and experience

Trust brands and certifications: Choose brands with good reputation and complete safety certifications such as Yalong Super Clay, and stay away from "three no" products. Check the packaging information carefully when purchasing.

Test the feel and smell yourself: If possible, gently feel the softness and stickiness of the clay in a physical store. Smell the smell after opening the bag and reject pungent odors.

Practical packaging is paramount: Good sealed packaging (such as Yalong's sealed box) is the key to keeping the clay alive, and small quantities and multi-color packaging are more convenient and flexible to use.
