Plasticine

In the plant cell model that Mario presented, a horse chestnut took the place of the nucleus, a handful of plasticine was the cytoplasm, the organelles were represented by lentils and other beans, small bits of green pipe cleaner served as chloroplasts, and the plastic bottle that held everything was the cell membrane, surrounded by a thick papier-mâché coat for the cell wall.

From the edge of the cliff the panoramic view to the south-west is vast and superb, the landscape resembling a map in green plasticine with the rivers shown in blue.

Models; how to make paper pulp models; salt and flour models; sand models; plasticine models; chalk and pencil models.

Hermione Roddice suggested we should ask Gudrun to teach her to draw and to model in clay. You know Winnie is astonishingly clever with that plasticine stuff. Hermione declares she is an artist.
