Product Description
Product Description
Specifically designed with the tween (812-year-old) girl in mind, Clay So Cute! shows how one of the easiest mediums - polymer clay, which need only be baked in the oven - can be sculpted into quick, simple, totally fun jewellery and accessories. This will be an instant success with girls (and their mothers and grandmothers) looking for projects that are more sophisticated than 'kid stuff,' but trendier and more age-appropriate than the pieces in adult clay books. Using only simple, step-by-step illustrated techniques, few tools and updated colours readers can make tween-friendly projects. These include like mini-cupcake charms, robot key chains, polka-dot ponytail holders, Japanese-style animals and a wide assortment of necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

Fantastic ideas for boys and girls....and mom!
1 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We gifted our seven year old daughter four yearwith a kit filled with polymer clay and a toolkit. This book was included and has been such a hit! Our favorites have been the bottlecap pendants and the claybots (our four year old son loves these!). The instructions are very clear, and I like the way it shows how much of each color clay to use for each project (it shows you a dot and says to get a ball of clay the same size).
I appreciate that each project introduces techniques that can be applied to her own ideas (like using a tool to apply a texture, or marbleizing colors), and that the finished products are actually cute, useful, and hip, rather than being too grandma (with no offense to grandmas :)

Extraordinary clay projects for kids!!!
6 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
I used this book (and a few others) as a basis to teach a home-school coop group of students from 3rd to 6th grades about the fun of polymer clay. The kids LOVED the projects in this book! The kids loved it so much and shared their creations with friends and family that next semester I will be teaching not only another 3rd to 6th grade clay class, but also a 7th and 8th grade class.
The Itty-Bitty Animals and the Robots were probably the overall favorite projects. There are so many excellent, manageable, fun projects in this book. If you are interested in trying polymer clay for the first time or just want to experiment with new projects, you won't go wrong with this book.
I think this is the best polymer clay book I have found, and you can believe me because I checked about about 30 of them from my local library. Many are geared too old for kids or only create mythical creatures.
Clay So Cute is a fantastic book that truly walks you step by step on how to do the projects. Your results will be as cute or even cuter that the examples in the book. From a teacher standpoint, I give it an A+!!!!

Clay So Cute!: 21 Polymer Clay Projects for Cool Charms, Itty-Bitty Animals, and Tiny Treasures is a really fun book for kids to learn about polymer clay and make some cute projects. It is written by prolific author, Sherri Haab and published by Watson-Guptill. Sherri Haab also wrote "The Incredible Clay Book" (which sold over a million copies!), plus many other books about jewelry making and other creative pursuits.
The book includes lots of fun pictures as well as basic information about polymer clay, such as how to bake for permanency or to fix broken pieces (good to know!). It also tells about tools and supplies needed, plus safety tips. I liked that the author had explanations of things you'll need to make jewelry with. That was helpful and interesting!
Clay So Cute!: 21 Polymer Clay Projects for Cool Charms, Itty-Bitty Animals, and Tiny Treasures is divided into three sections, the first being "All Jewelry, All the Time". There are many projects making colorful and fun jewelry pieces of all types. I thought the cookie cutter necklace was really cute and so easy, even for a beginner! The second area, "Fantastic Foods" has lots of yummy treats to make and then wear. The chocolicious bracelet looked real (and delicious!) enough to eat! "This and That" is the last section, with other neat ideas, like the treasure tins to decorate any way you like!
Polymer clay is a fun and easy art medium for kids to use and they can explore endless avenues of creativity with it. And this is a excellent book for girls to use if they are just starting out or even if they just want to find some new projects to make!
