plasticines

Soft sculpting materials

Plasticine is a brand of modeling clay that stays soft and doesn't harden or dry out, making it reusable for sculpting and animation.

The lowercase form refers generically to any similar non-drying modeling compound: The children shaped plasticines into animals.

The plural typically indicates different colors or varieties of the material.
