CiaraQ Polymer Clay Starter kit, Oven Bake Modeling Clay with Sculpting Tools, 50 Colors, 2.8 lb

I've never used clay before and this is so easy, plus it's really good quality for the price. not sticky, the colors don't bleed and they're very vibrant, and I haven't noticed any cracking. 2 or 3 colors stain hands (black, red) but it's not a big problem it washes off fine. Honestly you can make professional level looking stuff with this. *I put uv nail polish for the shine

At first, I didn't realize it was polymer clay and not play dough. I bought this set for my five-year-old daughter because she loves sculpting. I'm going to say I won't be buying regular play dough again. Polymer clay is perfect for both adult and child-sized creative projects. Whether you plan to use it for crafts and then oven-dry it, or just sculpt like regular play dough, this material is perfect for both. Unlike regular play dough, polymer clay doesn't dry out; you can safely leave it on the counter for several days and it will retain its color and softness without drying out. You can take the pieces apart and mold them into something new. And if you want to make your creations last forever, 15 minutes in the oven at 260°C will harden them and allow you to use them as decorative elements or play with them as toys.

UPDATE: The seller was incredibly helpful and resolved the issues I had with the clay. I would recommend purchasing from this seller. This 60-pack of polymer clay is an affordable option for beginners or for kids who want to try out crafting with clay without breaking the bank. It’s a good choice for introductory projects or for those just getting started, especially since polymer clay can get pretty expensive. However, the quality is a bit lacking. The clay is super oily, yet still manages to be dry and crumbly, which made it a real challenge to work with. This inconsistency required a lot of conditioning, and even then, it was hard to get the texture right. For the kids I work with, the clay was often frustrating because it didn’t hold together well and needed constant kneading to make it pliable. While it works for basic craft projects, it’s not the best choice for detailed, long-lasting creations. If you’re looking for something to hold up well or produce smooth, professional-looking results, I’d recommend investing in higher-quality clay. But for quick, budget-friendly fun, it’s not a terrible option.

The colors are bright, the clay is easy to shape, and it bakes well. The tools are basic but useful. A good value for beginners or small projects

love this clay!! keeps my kids (6 & 9)busy for hours making tiny little things (photo is just of yesterday’s creations). Cleanup is easy. i bake them in my toaster oven, smell is not great for 20 minutes but it’s quick and simple. 5 stars for the fact that a little bit goes a long way, and biggest bonus is that it doesn’t dry out after you open the package like air clay! highly recommend

Works very well and I love all the colors

Good for beginners but this clay is SO hard. When you go from Sculpy to this clay, you're going to regret it. Bought this to try it out and it's serviceable. Good colors but you get what you pay for.

I bought this clay set for a home camp I was going to do with my siblings. We made donuts, cake, cookies, and plates for our calico critters. I wasn't expecting the clay set to be good, because it was only $20. But I was really surprised at the quality, it was totally worth the money! It's a little sticky, but it doesn't stick to hands, so it's perfect for little kids! Inspires creativity for sure, I am not a clay artist, but I was able to make really good items with this set. The clay is hard at first, but after you knead it, it becomes soft and is 100% functional. The case is cute and reusable, but the colors did not come in rainbow order, but it only took me a few minutes to rearrange them. After we had used part of the clay, we wrapped them in parchment paper and put them back in the container. Overall perfect set, reccomend for activities and hobbies!!

I've never used Polymer clay before, so I can't compare this clay to any of the more known brands, but this went far beyond my expectations. The clay is easy to work with and having such a variety of colours is so helpful when starting out. They're also really easy to mix together to get even more shades/colours. I got 2 pack of air dry glaze to coat them after baking (I got the ultra gloss & matt finish pack from the Limino brand on here) and it's been perfect. I've made jewelry, charms and magnets and they all have held up great. The only negative I really have are the tools. Since they're plastic, I find they aren't the best (especially the knife) but they're nice to have when starting. I think getting higher quality/metal tools would be a lot better. TLDR: Pros: - The variety in colours is great when first starting - Easy to use and blend colours together - Quick to bake (15-20 mins in the oven usually, and comes with a booklet to explain everything) - The container is convenient and can be stacked together with more containers if you decide to buy more - The accessories given (phone chain, needles, etc) are a nice bonus Cons: - The plastic tools aren't great to cleanly cut or sculpt pieces

I made so many things with this. Earrings, necklaces, wine charms, mini food like donuts, suckers, so many things you can make.

The clay was very easy to work with which makes it so much better on the hands than some clays out there. The size of the blocks is small but for me that's fine because I make charms so small amounts of a color is more workable. If you keep the size in mind then this is a good product to start out with. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was one of the boxes I ordered was damaged. The clay inside was a bit smooshed but I still used it.

THE CLAY PIECES ARE SMALL, BUT IM JUST A BEGINNER TO THIS SO AM QUITE HAPPY...YOU GET 5 TOOLS, AND LITTLE EXTRAS TO MAKE EARRINGS, KEY CHAINS AND THOSE PHONE/PURSE DANGLY THINGS....THIS WOULD BE A GREAT KIT FOR SMALLER KIDS EVEN....I KNOW IM GOING TO HAVE HOURS OF FUN DOING WHAT I WANTED WITH THIS KIT....VERY MUCH RECOMMEND (ESPECIALLY NOW DURING COVID....HOURS OF FUN MEANS HOURS OF PEACE FOR YOU LOL)

pieces were a tad smaller than i expected, but it is perfect for learning.
