plastiini

Plastiini is a Finnish term that translates to "plasticine" in English. It refers to a pliable, modeling material that is often used for artistic and educational purposes. Typically made from a mixture of clay, petroleum, and other additives, plastiini remains soft and pliable at room temperature, making it easy to shape and mold. Unlike air-dry clay, plastiini does not harden over time and can be reused repeatedly.

Plastiini is widely utilized in schools and art classes as a tool for developing fine motor skills and creativity in children. Its malleability allows for the creation of various shapes, figures, and models. Professional artists and animators also employ plastiini for sculpting, creating prototypes, and stop-motion animation. The material is available in a wide range of colors, which can be mixed to create new shades. It is generally considered safe for children, though ingestion should be avoided. Its non-drying properties make it ideal for projects that require ongoing manipulation or for extended play sessions without the risk of the material becoming unusable.
