Non-toxic modeling clay is a modeling material whose composition is formulated to be harmless and safe, especially for children. The "non-toxic" designation guarantees that the product does not contain poisonous or otherwise harmful chemical substances that could cause health problems upon accidental ingestion of a small piece or contact with the skin. These modeling clays are often made from natural or food-grade ingredients, such as flour, salt, water, and safe color pigments. The primary purpose of this parameter is to ensure that creative play and the development of motor skills take place without risk to the user's health.
