Make Clay Charms

Well packed and very useful for 5-6 years old kids.

Very good product

Very poor quality clay that is all hardened up when opened. Unfortunately i had discarded my packaging bag etc ..so wasnt able to return it ...

Purchased for my 11 year old Neice - she loved it. Together with her little sister they started moulding the charms and did a fantastic job. Really cute charms, easy to harden up in an oven.

Useless!! Not recommended at all

Fun

Make Clay Charms Summary: This set has a nice range of different ideas to create things with. While it does involve some adult supervision, most kids can complete the first steps with molding the design ideas themselves. The array of colors are also appreciated and designing charms or different things for use is a fun thing for kids around 6-9 years old. My daughters enjoyed making these little crafts and it was an excellent and fun activity. Baking the items once they are molded doesn't take too long but this part can be fun for kids to watch from a distance when the items are cooking to harden. I have also used this similar type of clay from the art store using other activities and it definitely is a very unique and fun thing to do. This activiaty is best done with a group of kids and can be used even for a small group party for a birthday or a play date. Kids will definitely enjoy making this and be proud of their creation once it has been cooked and hardened. Pros: - Came well packaged and very nice box design - Price is decent given the quality of the activity and the cost of clay - Can be done as a parent and child activity / quality time - Many different unique ideas that can be made - Creative and good for child brain development Cons: - Requires an oven, most people should already have one Features A Canadian Toy Testing Council Children's Choice Award winner! Clay charms are all over the stores these days. Girls love their style, their mini-cuteness, and - best of all - the way you can mix-and-match them to express your personality. But charms can be pricey. Wouldn't it be better, we thought, to give girls a chance to create their own charms? Make Clay Charms features simple step-by-steps for more than 30 different designs - cute fruit, adorable animals, mini sweets, monsters - all picked with the help of our style experts (tween girls). Form your custom charms with the nine bright colors of clay, then bake them to permanence in an ordinary oven. Add shine with our specially formulated glaze and then attach your creations to the included bracelet. Any charms you're not using today can hang on the custom display rack, ready to be swapped in later. As long-time Klutz fans may remember, we already wrote the book on clay - two of them, in fact. The Incredible Clay Book and Create Anything With Clay sold a combined total of more than 1.5 million copies. That's a great track record, but we're confident this book will do even better. After all, third time's the charm.

The overall satisfaction indicates that I am generally pleased with the item.

I love this book! The instructions are very clear and the charms are so cute. This is a great activity if you have a large age range, as both the big and little kids are interested, and the big kids can help the little ones. The kids immediately pounced on it and started making things. The 9-year-old was able to replicate the charms in the book. The 4-5 year olds not so much, but they were happy making their own (larger) interpretations. Fun for the whole family. It's not a lot of clay but enough to make a lot of tiny charms. You'll need more clay if you have younger kids! They used up the clay that came with the kit, so I went to stock up on more oven-bake polymer clay at Walmart (bought the Sculpey brand for a buck per block). The book comes with a generous quantity of metal screw-in charm loops and jump rings, but only one charm bracelet. (I ended up buying extra chain and lobster clasps at Walmart. With the kit's included jump rings and some good pliers, I made a bunch of extra charm bracelets so everyone could have their own!) There's also a glaze to make the charms shiny, and a folding paper stand so you can hang the charms while you glaze them. It's a very well thought-through kit. We used our toaster oven to bake the charms per the book's instructions and they turned out great. Highly recommended! It's best to screw the charm loops into the clay so that they don't pull out after baking, rather than just sticking them straight in. This is hard for little hands to do, so an adult can take over. If they do pull out, just use a dab of super glue. And if you run out of the eye screw charm loops, there's a bunch of suppliers on Etsy that carry them.
