Sculpey - the perfect craft for children,

This review is from: Sculpey Iii Multipack Basic Colors (Kitchen)
Sculpey comes in many bright colors and hardens when baked. I bake mine in a toaster oven. Note that the colors darken slightly when baked, and you want to make sure not to bake for too long (follow the directions) otherwise it could burn. After it bakes, you can paint it with acrylic paint.
There are several things you could make with it: miniature dollhouse food and furniture, beads for jewelry, clay figurines (use metal wire to strengthen your figures), or on top of metal thumbtacks for cute 3-D designs. Another popular craft is to cover a clean, empty food can with Sculpey to make it into a pencil holder. You can also bake it with a BIC pen or USB drive, but you should Google for instructions. A toothpick is the most handy tool to create detail; you can use the pointy ends to make holes, or use it like a rolling pin to smoothen parts of your clay. It lasts for a long time; I had some in my garage for 4 years that were slightly hard, but after kneading it in my hands, it because soft. The classic collection is the best because it features the primary colors, black and white, which are all the essential colors. You can knead two colors together to form a new color. Sculpey is a type of polymer clay. Note: if you buy polymer clay in a store, make sure it says oven-bakeable on the label. Other brands include Fimo and Premo, but Sculpey is the cheapest.

Where Did They Get the Name Sculpey? Google, anyone?,
By I wanted to make my own beads because some I purchased for making jewelry lost their outer coating and turned white! And these were glass beads.... I found Sculpey and ordered the 10 pack to see how it would work. The colors are beautiful and the clay holds its shape, mixes well for marbling and blends to form additional colors. To make your creations permanent, just bake them in your oven at low temperatures. Easy as this is, Sculpey's baking instructions (use glass, 15 minutes per 1/4 inch, etc.,) are a little too specific for my taste. As a beginner, I find it troublesome that some of the things I am baking may be thicker than others and therefore undercooked, or the thinner ones may burn if I try to compensate, so do I bake them separately?@!*&! or what? I notice old handers just seem to lower the temperature and cook everything 30 minutes. I'm not that brave yet. But so far, nothing has burned and nothing has turned back to raw clay so I must be doing something right. Or Sculpey is more cooperative than its makers know.... I'm actually quite proud of some of my beads now, and I've been at if for less than a month. Sculpey can get you off to a good start too.
