fun for the whole family

My daughter loves to play with modeling dough and clay so I thought that this set would be perfect for her. The set is supposed to come with 36 different tubs of colored clay, 12 sea animal molds, 9 fruit and vegetable molds, 10 shapes cutters, 7 round foam balls, 6 tear drop shaped balls, 20 googly eyes, 3 plastic knives and an instruction booklet but the box we received only contained 30 containers of clay. It was also missing tools and the instruction booklet. The box arrived in the original container without an outer shipping box and it did have a sticker from the post office stating that they had received the package unsealed. I have contacted the seller and Amazon to try to get a replacement.

However, I do like that the clay can be stored in the plastic cups and the lids snap on tightly to keep the clay from drying out. The foam shaped are great for making figures without the need for a thick inner layer of clay. The clay felt wet and sticky when we first took it out of the container but it firmed up once we had played with it for awhile. We really enjoyed modeling with this clay and even the adults got in on the fun. The clay with harden to a sort of soft foam like consistency when left to air dry so it isn't exactly like a traditional clay where it gets really hard. This is an awesome set and so much fun to play with.
