Makes nice shapes but plastic cutting tools

Update: Added photos as Revain seems to have fixed the image loading issue. I'm new to using polymer clay but have used other types of clay. I wanted to try making some shapes first and teach my kids. Here is my detailed experience with this product. I managed to create about 10 shapes with different shapes.1. The package contains containers with shapes of different colors (some with glitter and some without glitter)2. Multiple plastic tools for blending, cutting and forming shapes.3. Instructions on the contents of the package. No Instructions ๐Ÿ˜ŸPro: 1. Multiple mold colors are an advantage for making different clay molds.2. The tone is not super soft. But able to mix and match shapes easily.3. Storage containers are a plus to easily carry the clay around. Cons: 1. There is no guidance as to what temperature should be used for baking. My first attempt failed as I preheated my oven to 330 Fht and burned out all the molds. After some research on the internet I was able to find that at 230Fht the forms came out very well with no problems.2. Plastic tools are fine, but you'll need to use other tools for sharp cuts. It wasn't a problem for a beginner like me. But I was looking for super sharp cuts for my molds where I had to use blades/knives.3. Each clay bag is small in size and can only be used for small molds or molds.4. The silicone mold is useless and makes very small molds. In general I was satisfied with the product and was able to create different shapes (cat, butterfly, strawberry, donut, turtle, etc.). Check out my uploaded video on different shapes. One thing I learned is that at 230 Fht you can heat as long as you want without cracking mold. For all my molds I baked in the oven for about 60-75 minutes.

Pros
  • Craft
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
