I really like the activities in this book but I think that most of them are to hard for anyone below the age of ten. I still have trouble with the details even though I am thirteen. you also need to find a different red color. It stained my clothes and all I did was drop it on them. Other than those complaints though, you did a good job. You need to make another book of things to do with the clay. Sincerely, Alicia LeCroy

I received this book 3 years ago as a Christmas gift, and it sparked such an interest, that I began making gifts for every occasion, and then branched into selling my creations. There's plenty in this book to keep an adult interested! By the way, to the reviewer who expressed dismay at the difficulty of finding replacement clay, look for Sculpey III at your local craft store - that is the type of clay used in the book.

I had no idea how much fun clay could be until I purchased The Incredible Clay Book! From beads to food to wizards, even finger puppets- this book has it all! It also takes you through detailed instructions of whatever object you're trying to make and gives you helpful hints and techniques along the way. Beginners or master builders of clay will love what this book has to recommend because it offers simple projects such as bug tacks and even some advanced projects like millefiori beads. It has a wide variety of zany creations and unusual objects. Try making a pteradactyl that can hang from your ceiling or a fancy jar lid design that works great as a birthday gift. One thing for sure: these countless creations will keep you busy for hours on end. So if you're looking for a clay book with fun ideas, a lot of content, and easy-to-read instructions, this book was meant for you! This kit comes packaged with eight one-ounce blocks of special molding material called polymer clay which can bake in the oven at 275 degrees. All in all, a great book!

I have made a lot of the things from this book . I thought the authors were really great . They made everything specific and really down to the point .The ideas were wonderful . I love making things for my friends with this book and they love recieving them ! I just run out of clay too fast ! I have enjoyed many of your other books including Braids and Bows . It was also one of my favorites . I think you have a really great selection of books . Keep up the good work !

I'm taking a jewelry making class and our instructor recommended this book for making millfiori beads. If you aren't sure if you want to take up this hobby then this is the book for you. It shows you the many ways you can shape the clay into miniture items (mini foods and animals) besides beads. Plus the author is kind enough to provide you with polymer clay in 8 useful colors for projects in the book and for ideas of your own. Note to those who are thinking of dabbling in polymer clay:
- when baking the clay, use a separate toaster to bake your projects otherwise the food that you cook in your toaster will retain the fumes from the clay. Buy a cheap toaster-oven from Wal-Mart or Target.
- get a thermometer by Scupley at www.polymerclaysuperstore.com - so you won't burn your projects
- soap and water will not take the excess residue from off of your hands. You need to use rubbing alcohol and some cotton balls.

Other than that - you're good to go! Have fun and good luck!

I love this book! It's great! For those people who ran out of clay, try White Rose or Michaels for Sculpey III, or any well-stocked craft store would have it. BYE!

I love this book. I purchased this book hoping for good directions making clay beads. It is exactly what I was hoping for and more. My granddaughter (age 10) and I were able to start making beads immediately with all the directions and great photos. We made some great looking beads, all with the clay provided and toothpicks. A cut up wire hanger and we were set to bake.

My young boys & I have made a lot of fun little creations using this idea book & the clay that comes with it - dinosaurs, rocket ships, snakes, owls, and so on. Good chance to have creative fun with your kids.
