Cute, not functional

This is a cute kit. The included instructions are easy to follow, and produce some adorable figures. The eraser dough is easy to work with, too.During/after baking, the erasers retain their color and shape quite nicely.The finished erasers do not do a good job actually erasing, though. I know people collect tiny erasers--I had a decent size collection when I was a kid. But this might as well be any bake-to-harden clay set. The directions and colors are still enough for me to recommend this kit,

Pros
  • Pencil Erasers
Cons
  • May not be sturdy enough for heavy use

Great activity! in my review

We had so much fun with this kit - I wish we had more!I can't say that these are very good as erasers, but we used these for our tween who needs OT and she was so proud of how they turned out that it took convincing even to get her to try.The instructions are easy to follow and really helpful, and though her issues with the use of her hands meant hers didn't come out quite as pretty as the pictures, most tweens will have better luck. Younger kids may end up with an approximation.Our oven runs…

Pros
  • Drawing & Painting Supplies
Cons
  • May not appeal to those who do not enjoy crafting or sculpting

We have a few different eraser clay sets from this brand, and absolutely adore them! It is kind of like the eraser type of sculpey, where you soften up the clay, mold into whatever you want, bake it, let it cool, and then it functions as an eraser.While you can purchase eraser clay, you would be missing out on the most special part of this set, which is the little booklet with instructions and ideas. My kids were so inspired by this that they have been doing fun things with other types of clay

Pros
  • Arts & Crafts
Cons
  • May not provide enough erasers for those who enjoy creating large collections

These are so cute and creative

You can make all sorts of designs that are actually erasers. The more creative you are, the better your designs will be. There are some really cute little options.

Pros
  • Each kit makes 15 erasers
Cons
  • Limited color options may not appeal to all tastes

Hard to mold good for me

The clay was very hard to mold. For kids it is even harder. I literally could not make anything. The only thing it”I could make was the brick the clay came in and I used it as a normal eraser. But the eraser was pretty good for erasing pencil.

Pros
  • The Klutz Mini Eraser Animals Kit is an affordable and versatile option for anyone looking to take up a new hobby or who wants to expand their crafting skills
Cons
  • The kit may not be as fun or engaging as advertised

Super fun craft good for me

My kids were super bored this summer so we ordered tons of crafts. They really enjoyed this one! We ran out of clay.twice and had to reorder more. The book gives really fun and cute ideas and they really enjoyed mixing colors and giving them to family and friends. Very easy to work with and to fire. Two thumbs up!

Pros
  • 7.2 ounces
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for younger children due to small parts

Great for rainy days!

I gave my 11- and 12-year-old boys this kit and they proceeded to make a whole bunch of erasers without any help from me needed (other than baking them). The directions are easy to follow and give tons of ideas for making adorable little animal erasers. The eraser dough consistency is somewhere between playdough and erasers and does not make your hands feel weird from using it. The dough does not have an odor that I could detect and my very sensitive to smells 11-year-old did not mentions…

Pros
  • The kit has been designed to ensure safe and non-toxic crafting, making it a great activity for parents to do with their children
Cons
  • The craft may require more advanced sculpting techniques not suitable for beginners

Fun to make; does require baking to set

My 9 yr old and friend enjoyed making these eraser animals. The tools help to make tiny add-ons, so the kit is do-able independently in that age range. It does require low baking for a period of time to set the animal erasers, and the tiny pieces don't necessarily stay on well. My 9 yr old and friend just displayed their creations and did not use as pencil eraser toppers or anything. I don't think they were intended for use so much as for fun to make and display. Provides an afternoon or 3 of…

Pros
  • The finished products look great and will make excellent additions to any desk or pencil case
Cons
  • The craft may not be suitable for those with hand or motor skill limitations

Cute idea but perhaps not enough materials

My 10 year old and her friend made these little animal erasers and wasn’t too impressed. Cray included is bit tough to work with even if it’s meant to be baked after. Direction says 15 animals but as you can see, there wasn’t enough left for 11 more animals. Maybe you have to make them really really tiny? It also only comes with one little tool which seemed useless. I don’t think younger kiddos will be able to execute such small product when the clap isn’t easy to mold. After baking, you have…

Pros
  • The Klutz Mini Eraser Animals Kit gives you a way to develop your fine motor skills, patience, and creativity in a fun and engaging way
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for those looking for larger or more complex crafting projects

Adult Supervision Recommended

I purchased this product for my 12yo who has sensory integration problems to help with coordination and the handling of smaller items. He did get frustrated with the more important aspects of the animal features, I had to work closely with him on the smaller intricate pieces. once finished he was proud of himself for sticking with it and the experience as a whole wasn't too time consuming, I do believe the age guide would work better for kids who are a bit older. Smaller hands still trying to…

Pros
  • 832867
Cons
  • The erasers may not be effective as actual erasers

Fun activity: my feedback

You are really paying for the experience of a guided activity that includes a 32 page booklet of 15 different eraser animals that you can make with your child.There are some tiny pieces included and molding material which is really tempting to eat for the wee ones.Overall, it's a fun activity to do with your child.

Pros
  • Children and adults alike will enjoy creating their own menagerie of cute eraser animals using the kit's step-by-step instructions
Cons
  • The kit may not provide enough variety for more adventurous crafters

My kids' favorite craft kit of all time; mine too

My kids range in age from 5-12 and they love all things crafty. I love things that I can just hand over to them and turn them loose. The problem is that many kits, even with a 12 year old in charge, still require adult intervention. This is not the case with this set.The set comes with 4 different colors of clay but they can be blended to create marble patterns or new colors. The instructions are clear and cute, and the kids easily followed them. My 9 and 12 year olds were able to recreate the…

Pros
  • The finished erasers are durable, meaning they won't crumble or fall apart after just a few uses
Cons
  • The erasers may not hold their shape over time

Easy to use and very fun craft kit

These are nice craft projects because they don't take forever to complete and the resulting item is somewhat useful.Great for some creative indoor time when going outside isn't reasonable.

Pros
  • Klutz Press
Cons
  • The kit may be too simple for more experienced crafters

Revainrating 3 out of 5

fun, but melty best in my review

The clay was easy to use and the booklet was very helpful. However, they melted to a pile of colors when baked. I fully admit to using the oven-provided temperature. Using a separate thermometer might have let me know if the oven was too hot/cold. However, I really don't want to get an oven thermometer just for making these erasers.

Pros
  • The animals included in the kit have a variety of shapes and features, allowing you to learn different crafting techniques
Cons
  • The erasers may not be durable enough to withstand extreme temperatures or weather conditions

Super cute, fun experience, minimal frustrations

My children enjoyed the "space" version so much I ordered this one as well, and they were thrilled. This comes with everything you'll need except for oven, pan and foil to bake, plus paper to protect your workspace. There are four colors of clay (the yellow glows in the dark!) an instruction booklet, a shaping tool, and little eyes to complete your projects. There's also a camping diorama of thick paper/thin cardboard to put together.The completed projects are very cute, and my kids were…

Pros
  • The kit comes with all the supplies necessary to create 8 different brown animal erasers, so there's no need to go out and buy additional materials
Cons
  • The kit may not be eco-friendly due to the materials used

Fun for boys and girls

These are a lot of fun for older kids. Just take the enclosed colors, use the enclosed tool and follow the instructions enclosed to create cute little designs. Boys and girls both enjoy making these and a wide variety of ages. I pulled these out when my neighbor kids came over for me to babysit the other night and the 8 year old boy and the 12 year old girl were both having a lot of fun making me little characters with my kit. Recommended for a kids birthday party or just a Tuesday!

Pros
  • 4.25 x 1.5 x 6.5 inches
Cons
  • The craft process may be messy and time-consuming

Fun to make! for my opinion

Great fun as a kids project. Easy to use the kit and the erasers. The erasers actually do work although they are a little smaller than we expected.There are a bunch of varieties of choice so that too makes this a good activity.

Pros
  • The kit is easy to use and suitable for crafters of all skill levels
Cons
  • The erasers may not be suitable for use on all types of paper
