Product Description

Product Description
North Light's popular polymer clay series capitalises on the desire of children and parents for easy, interesting, creative activities to do at home. Kids will learn how to create all sorts of fun characters, ranging from simple to more detailed fantasy characters. The projects are organised around a story line, making the book more appealing as well as educational. Children aged 6-12 will find much of interest in this book, and should have no trouble completing all of the projects on their own. The materials involved are easily obtained and with step-by-step photos, are easy to assemble. Teachers, and activity leaders who are looking for new art and craft activities will also find appeal in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more superb characters to make inside the book, 11 Jul 2003
The characters inside this book are beautiful. You think the characters on the front cover are cute you wait until you see inside there are even more. Animals, teddy bears, pixies and reptiles all with very easy step by step instructions on how to make them. Each instruction is accompanied by a photo so you can see exactly what you are supposed to be making.

Book starts with how to handle polymer clay. Then how to make basic shapes, how to use the basic shapes to make the characters, how to mix new colours and how to bake your characters including how to support them so they don't sag when they are in the oven.

I expected the characters on the front cover to be the best ones in the book but the ones inside are just as cute.

An excellent book and one I would highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clay Characters for Kids, 18 Oct 2008
By S. Abinger (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
oooooh, the pictures in this book are gorgeous, inspirational. The photography just brings the book to life. It really sets it apart from so many others. Lots of projects and a story too - in rhyme. You really will adore this book if you love whimsy dragons, fairies, elves, snakes, flowers, butterflies, etc.

Lots of colour mixing, tips, what to make with leftovers.
My children love this book - but its mine! It's just sooo lovely.
