Don't waste your time!

We have just received this and I am leaving this review after an evening of disappointing experiences and we still do not have the finished piece. Let's start with air dry clay, when you roll it a lot of air bubbles get into it. No matter how much I knead it, I got air bubbles every time. Second, my daughter lost interest in having to roll and twist it many times to release the bubbles. When I finally got the clay to the point where I could live with an air bubble or two, we found that the handprint was very light and not at all like the picture. Try smoothing out a kid's hand and rubbing in the clay - you only have a few seconds of cooperation, so if the impression material is too soft you'll end up with a crappy impression. I rolled out the plasticine and decided to try again. The second time around I noticed some small bits of pile or something in the clay. I suspect it's because I have to handle it so much to release the air bubbles. One day I corrected this situation and started rolling again ONCE - my daughter and I both loved it. I think the impression material is not suitable for this application. I've worked with clay before and this type of air drying is a bit light and too soft. I might try again with a different brand as I still have a little bit left over from the project. But who knows. I can wrap it up and send it back. It's not a successful product if after 45 minutes all I'm left with is disappointment and crappy audio. And we didn't even make it to the second clay bag to do the footprint. I agree with one reviewer who said the ink route would have been better. So far this product is EPIC FAIL.
