Family of Six — Deluxe Wood Box
This is our cornerstone set. The one Montessori teachers leave out for display. Two tall and four little figures in a dovetailed wood box with plexi lid.
This set of six figures can exemplify all kinds of group dynamics. We are well aware that families don’t always have traditional parenting roles, so these could be two moms, a dad and a grandma, a mom and a teen sibling. Whatever the child wants to model them to be. In the interest of diversity, this (and all other Claymates) can also be bought in different wood tones or mixed.
Additional figures can be added to complete whatever family roles want to be replicated.
This set comes with 12 little blocks of non-hardening clay that never dries out.

Just as we encourage children to create with their hands, so do we. We are artists, musicians, sculptors and woodworkers. The feel of the wood being turned, the smell of the sawdust are all part of the Claymates experience, of our offering to you. Details matter. That’s why the figures have ridges to better hold the clay, and the wood boxes are dovetailed.
-
Claymates figures are hand turned on a lathe in a woodshop that’s been in family existence since 1911. Similar to a potter’s wheel, a lathe continuously rotates the piece of wood, allowing it to be cut into sculptural forms using hand-held tools. Our conscious decision to manufacture the figures in the USA from sustainable wood is a nod to the future our children will inherit.

Everything in its place! Montessori principles prompt our packaging. Plus, we are parents, too. We know kids thrive (and grown-ups appreciate) when toys are organized, and storage comes built-in. To that end, Claymates offers 3 different types of shipshape packaging that stores the play-clay away.
• Deluxe, dovetailed wood boxes with plexi lids
• Natural 100% cotton canvas drawstring pouches
• Sturdy, rigid, USA-made cardboard lid/tray boxes (coming soon!)

Claymates stands poised to break into an impacted toy and arts & crafts market with something truly new — a feat in an overcrowded industry. Claymates is patent-pending. The only clay role-play toy of its kind. There is really nothing like it on the market.
-
Our clay is non-toxic, non-hardening, non-drying, non-staining — non-worrying!
Conforms to ASTM D-4236 and is ACMI (Arts & Creative Materials Institute) Certified. Passes all USA and the more stringent EC European safety regulations.
