Stacie Laurell Crafts to Launch new craft products for children with Autism

20140626_090550Stacie Laurell Crafts has come up with a new mission and purpose for our clay crafts. Coming soon we will be offering therapy clay kits for children with autism.  Clay and craft projects has been used in therapy such as occupational therapy and ABA for children with poor gross motor skills and other delays.  As an in home nanny for years and someone who has worked extensively with children with autism and other delays I have used Stacie Laurell Crafts clay with children and have seen remarkable results. Although I’ve always had a love to work with children, the desire to help children with special needs grew stronger when it finally hit close too close to home. When my nephew turned 15 months I already knew something was wrong.  All the signs that I had learned through school and professional experience were there.  Although my nephew is high functioning, he still needs  some therapy and services, and believe me services like occupational therapy and ABA can be very expensive!!! In fact many families simply can’t afford it.  Stacie Laurell Crafts wants to help. We are developing a Stacie Laurell Crafts Therapy Kit for children with autism and other delays.

It has been proven that arts n crafts designed specifically for Autistic children is a great form of therapy.  It is relaxing, soothing, therapeutic, encourages creativity & imagination as well as drastically improves fine gross motor skills. Although we will still sell our clay to the general public like artist, students, and everyday people we are in the process of providing art therapy products to children and families affected by autism.  We thank you for supporting Stacie Laurell Crafts thus far and look forward to helping children with autism.

Thank You

Cold porcelain clay vs Fondant figurines

Many clay artist and bakers make cake topping figurines for cakes and parties but many of you may have noticed that sometimes these figurines  are sometimes made with fondant and sometimes cold porcelain clay.  Let’s visit the difference between the two. Fondant is a thick edible paste made of sugar and water and is often flavored or colored. Fondant is used for making candy and decorating cakes & cupcakes.  Cold porcelain clay is not edible but it is food safe and non toxic. Cold porcelain clay is made with natural non toxic ingredients such as corn starch oil and white glue to name a few.  Many artist use this clay for cake toppers. Although fondant is widely used it is made with sugar so it can and will mold and go bad over time.  Most people who order cake toppers don’t really want to eat them but rather keep them as a keepsake. Since cold porcelain clay last longer, many people opt for their cake topper to be made with cold porcelain clay. Your cake topper that is made with cold porcelain clay can be kept and displayed for years in your home.  Here are a few pictures of cake toppers made with cold porcelain clay by various artist.
