Claymates is a newly launched brand that gives kids the chance to role play using clay. The company’s wooden figures are designed after Montessori principles, aiming to support child autonomy and hands-on learning.
The new brand has a number of different human figure offerings, all hand-turned in Maine. They are made with sustainable wood and come in Tall and Little sizes. Kids can decorate the figures with the included clay, giving them hairstyles, outfits, and more. The clay is non-hardening and doesn’t dry out, so it’s easy to reuse for new play sessions.
The company has a variety of kits with different Claymates. The cornerstone set is the Family of 6 kit, which comes with 12 blocks of non-hardening clay as well as six figures, two Tall and four Littles, with brown walnut, light maple, or mixed wood tones. Other kits include the Family of Four set, sets of six figures, and the Claymates Classmates kit. Kids can also get individual figures, additional clay, and a wood rolling pin.
The new Claymates kits are available to purchase now on the official website. They’re designed for kids ages 3 and up, encouraging creativity, imagination, and individual expression in kids across ages.
Claymates will also attend the Montessori Event in Orlando, Florida, this March 7-10. It will offer guests freebie items, as well as the chance to play with Claymates in person.
