5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing Fun May 21, 2010
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
These strips of moldable beeswax are so much fun! At first, it is a cold, very firm substance. Break off a piece, and hide it in the palm of your hand, and you will feel it soften. You may need to teach young children how to get the hang of it or warm it up for them until they have the patience. You could always put some into a baggie, and place the baggie in a bowl of hot water to soften it quickly just to get everyone started. I find it soothing to soften each piece as it's needed with my hands. The wax feels so soft and smooth and there is the faint scent of beeswax. It's really a lovely experience. As you build little creations, the wax will harden again, and you can save it as long as you like or take it all apart. If you want to make it easier to warm up again next time, flatten the wax a bit or leave it in smaller pieces. If you leave it in a big ball (which we do) it will take longer to warm the whole ball in your hands. This is a good activity for children to do during story time. It keeps hands busy and allows them to listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! October 6, 2008
By A. Cope
Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this wax as much as my kids. Smells wonderful. So soft and wonderful to work with, just with the warmth of your hands. Then hardens when you're done. Will last forever, so I think it's well worth the price. More lovely than any clay or play dough.

5.0 out of 5 stars neat and clean alternative to play doh December 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I purchased this modeling wax as a gift for my five and seven year old nieces since my two older kids, who are four and six, really enjoy it. It's wonderful stuff. It allows the kids to create and sculpt without making a mess. It's a rather hard wax and the sheets will seem too firm to sculpt but you just hold it in your hands or under your arm if your hands are usually cold and it will soften up. It will firm up after several minutes but is easily rewarmed. I like to tell my kids a story while we are holding the wax. You can get a good five or so playing sessions out of 1/4 to 1/3 of a sheet but after that it gets an odd texture. Just set those used pieces aside and use them to decorate the outside of candles, the wax burns down along with the candle. The wax, because it hardens after being sculpted, can be made into playthings. The kids make senery for their wooden animals as well as food for them. It doesn't get ground into the carpet like clay and small bits are easily vacuumed up. It's a great gift for a child that already has lots of art supply clutter because the box is fairly small.

I can only see four downsides to it:
- the kids want to keep their creation meaning they want to use more rather than reusing but they eventually reuse the wax from old creations
- finished pieces are usually coking hazards so if you have babies or toddlers like I do you need to be very careful
- the kids like to use more than one color for something then don't bother disassembling it before softening and using again so we end up with lots of a brownish color
- it's expensive, no way around it this wax costs a lot but the amazon price is pretty good especially with the free shipping

One last note - don't worry about ordering it because of the weather. I bought it in August and live on the gulf coast. The sheets are separated by waxed paper so they came through no problem in 100+ degree heat. I also tried putting a sheet of the wax in the freezer and it was fine after it warmed back up so it should arrive just fine in the winter. The sheets are 1/4 inch or so thick so they don't become brittle in cold weather like thinner sheets of candle wax do.
