What Is Sensory Art?

Sensory art is exactly what the name suggests — a method of creation where the artist uses a variety of sensory tools to create their finished product. These tools usually relate to our five senses — touch, sight, sound, smell and taste. 

Sensory art is often suggested as a therapy method for young children and can be a fun way for them to learn more about the world around them. For kids, sensory art kits can help build important nerve connections in the brain and develop critical language and motor skills.

However, the hobby is not just limited to children — adults, too, can create sensory art as a way of relaxing and switching off from the world around them.

What Is OKTO Clay?

OKTO is a manufacturer of creative sets. Its mission is to create products that help foster children’s individual creativity and help them reach their full potential. Based in Ukraine, they have expanded their reach to over 15 countries in just a few short years.

OKTO’s sets contain natural ingredients, like clay and wood, and contain everything you need to explore and improve your sensory art skills.

Is OKTO Clay Suitable for Adults?

Of course! 

While OKTO clay is usually marketed towards children, adults can certainly try the sets, too. Clay is often used as a form of therapy that provides mental and physical benefits. 

Tactile play using materials like clay, wood, and paint allows adults to express themselves and embrace their mistakes. The creative possibilities are endless and allow adults to express themselves.

The idea of taking time out of your day to simply play with clay is foreign to many but can force us to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of life and provide an avenue for relaxation.

Plus, in the end, you’re left with a finished work of art you can proudly display.

Is OKTO Clay Good for Sensory Play?

OKTO clay is one of the best tools for sensory play. However, before giving an OKTO sensory kit to your child, be sure to read the instructions carefully and make sure it is safe to do so — it may recommend parental supervision to ensure kids don’t ingest the clay.

OKTO clay kits also range in difficulty, from those suitable for kids to those best tackled by adults. The Wood & Craft DIY Succulents kit, for example, is quite complex and will take considerable fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination to put together. A set like Koi Carps might be more fun for a child.

What Is Included in My OKTO Clay Kit?

Your OKTO clay kit contains absolutely everything you need to put together a beautiful finished product.

Take the Big Wave in Kanagawa set, for example. The set contents include a natural canvas, wooden modelling tool, air clay (compound) set, acrylic water-soluble varnish, paint brush, and instructions to help you create a gorgeous three-dimensional painting that you can proudly display in your home. With no need to buy additional tools or materials, putting together an OKTO clay kit is the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.
