As the number of participants increases, our financial situation demands cost-effective art classes. With this wheat flour clay, we conducted safe, cost-efficient art classes for younger students using food coloring, water, pasta, and flour.

Working with wheat flour clay was expected to enhance the following artistic educational skills:
Physical functions and sensitivity were to be increased: By touching, grabbing, pinching, scratching, and rolling, the development of hands and fingers was to be promoted and tactile sensitivity increased. The brain, receiving various stimuli, becomes activated, leading to more motivated activities.

Creativity was to be promoted: The softness and ease of handling, as well as the plastic deformability, make it fun to recognize shapes and instantly transform images into concrete forms.

Scientific understanding was to be promoted: Students develop their next action by beating, stretching, and rolling the clay mass while checking the results. They can intuitively understand what increases strength or how clay pieces can be connected.

Emotional stability was to be promoted: The unique feel of the material and the ability to change the shape at will provide a sense of emotional security and promote social skills, which form the basis for group design activities.
