1. Basic shaping tools include plastic knives, clay sticks and rolling pins. The knife cuts and trims the outline of clay. The clay stick presses grooves and lines, and the rolling pin flattens clay into thin sheets. They meet the production needs of most simple models.
2. Creative auxiliary tools consist of moulds, ball styluses and texture rollers. Various cartoon moulds quickly make fixed shapes. Ball styluses are good for details such as eyes and small pits. Texture rollers print patterns on the clay surface and enrich the texture of works.
3. Storage and auxiliary supplies contain clay mats, tweezers and sealed fresh‑keeping boxes. The mat stops clay sticking to the table. Tweezers help place tiny parts. Sealed boxes store leftover clay to prevent air‑drying and hardening and extend the usable time of clay.
