Abstract (en)

An educational toy set concerning coloring or modeling that is so interesting that children will work thereon voluntarily. The educational toy set includes a three-dimensional model animal (10) having an animal shape portion, a plurality of paints (22) applicable to the three-dimensional model animal (10), an applicator (24) for applying the paints (22), and an enclosure (40) for accommodating these components. The three-dimensional model animal (10) is produced by precisely molding potter's clay containing water by using a mold having a large number of split mold members, followed by drying and firing. The surface of the three-dimensional model animal (10) has a large number of recesses and projections and is substantially white. The enclosure (40) has chambers for accommodating the three-dimensional model animal (10), the paints (22), and the applicator (24), respectively.
