I got this from my grandchildren's wish lists. Of all the Christmas gifts, this one got the most use. My daughter and her husband are artists and their 3 kids are artsy, as well. They spent hours creating fabulous figures and then made stop-action videos with them. The clay is neat, dries well, and the colors are vivid. Highly recommended!

The bright colors make this clay appealing to my preschool age child. Just the right amount of clay in this package for child just starting working with clay.

I got this clay to work with a 9 year old. She loves it - it's soft enough to mold but "isn't mushy like playdough" The clay in the package hasn't dried out and the figures we build with it seem to be drying (its been 24 hrs and it still looks a little mold-able).

Overall would recommend Alex clay. The Box 24 size offers a large variety of colors and a good amount for most projects.

Item had great vibrant hues, but the clay proved extremely firm and hard to manipulate compared to other modeling clays that I've tried.

Received the modeling clay quickly and in good condition. It has bright true colors and the texture is good.
However, I tried it out with my 2 1/2 yr old and 3 1/2 yr old grandchildren and found it may be a little too firm for them to work with at this point. They used the little cutout plastic shapes on it but I had to roll it flat for them so they could make the shapes. Product is fine.. the grandkids were just not ready to work with it.

My daughter is nine and dug right into this clay. The clay is soft enough to allow her to easily model and the colors are bright. It is simple enough to allow for her imagination. She loved it.

We bought these clay kits for both our 4yr old daughter and our 6 yr old son. They had never really played with clay before. We have lots of the the Play dough stuff.
Although this clay is pretty stiff and challenging to manipulate the kids didn't seem to mind. I though after the squishiness of the PD they wouldn't go for it. Surprisingly my 6 yr old son mentioned right away that the clay was "less crumbly and less messy". He has ADHD and has a low tolerance for frustration and when playing with PD the stuff he would create tended to fall apart pretty easy and would cause many tears. The clay seemed to give him the substance he was looking for. There are 24 colors. Although not alot of clay per color there are many similiar colors as you can see in the pics that could be combined or used together.

My 4yr old was not able to mix up all the colors as easily (a HUGE PLUS). We have mostly black Play Dough.LOL

I did give it lower marks for educational value as the mixing of the colors DOES provide some education and it is almost impossible for tiny fingers to mix this stiff clay.

They both played for awhile. The novelty wore off after about 30 minutes. I noticed there were several smaller things they created. With PD there would have been more elaborate construction sites and scenes by that time.

We were able to roll each color into a little ball and store in a plastic bin for later use. For the price it is a great addition to our open ended play/ electronic free game house hold.

This is fun modeling clay to play with. It doesn't seem to harden if you bake it. We bought it because one other reviewer said it hardens when you bake it but it didn't harden for us. It just got soft.

i buy this for my kid he have to do a 3D school project this is good clay and price its much less than other's but it get hard to mold if the temperatures are cold i put it an drawn in the kitchen to get back on room temperature.

My grandsons (4 & 6) are very creative and they loved the model clay and baked all their 'stuff' in the oven so that was exciting! My 6yr old made me a BEAUTIFUL nativity set and snowman with all the pieces. Recommend A+++
