The Amazon reviewer claimed this clay was easy for little fingers to work - not true for my nearly-four-year old, and not true for me! It was hard as a rock. You'd have to work tiny bits at a time to make it workable. My daughter quickly got bored and gave up and I can't say I blame her. A big disappointment

The clay in this set is so incredibly hard to work with. My kids were very frustrated. The clay does not soften. The cookie cutters and molds with the set are great and we use them with Play Doh or Crayola modeling clay. I do not recommend spending your money on this at all.

I purchased this for my 9 year old grandson's birthday, and he loved it more than most of his other gifts. He comes over to my home some weekends, and brings it along in the bucket that the clay comes in. The only problem is that his sister wants to play too, so I am online to purchase another one. I recommend this for any child.

I love this product! I purchased it for my 5 and 8 year olds, and it is a great way to keep them out of my hair while I get housework done. Highly recommended! The best part is that when they are done, everything can be thrown right into the bucket - easy clean up.

For basic clay animation, the Alex clay works quite well. The colors are very vivid and the clay is soft without being melty like Crayola's modeling clay. The clay tools in this package won't last forever, but the variety included give a budding animator--and his or her imagination-- a power boost of possibilities.

Note: Alex's clay, also availoable in different size packages, is especially good for flat tabletop clay animation. If you are using armatures and more elaborate methods, you should use Omyacolor or Van Aken modeling clay for a little more firmness.
