Polymer Clay: 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold and Squish,
By
This review is from: Polymer Clay: 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold & Squish (Kids' Crafts (Paperback)): 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold and Squish (Paperback)
I bought this book for my eight year old daughter together with a Fimo clay starter set. She had never used Polymer Clay before and I wanted to give her a book as an introduction to what she can do with the clay, the tools she can use and what effects can be achieved. She seems to like the book and has already tried out a couple of the projects which have turned out quite successful.

Way better than five stars!,
By ArtWay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polymer Clay: 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold & Squish (Lark Kids' Crafts) (Hardcover)
I was so happy to participate in making some of the projects in this book and with Irene Dean writing it, I knew the book was naturally going to be good. But, when I received it, I was totally floored at the quality - hardcover, great paper, clear pictures, well-written instructions. It was so much better than I'd even anticipated. This book was written for someone much younger than I am, but I found it completely entertaining, throughout. Very thorough "basics" section, including a look at making simple canes, then on to the projects. Lively and colorful from cover to cover. Jazzy, upbeat writing, hip kids in artful demonstration, wonderful photography, lots of humor and cool fonts surround each of the thirty projects. There are beginner items to advanced - critters, jewelry, things to make for gifts, from simple to sophisticated - kids are going to absolutely love this book! And just in time to give to a young person before the appearance of "summer doldrums," too. :) But, I don't think its appeal is limited to the 8-14 years-old age bracket because IMO, most adults would find it fun, too. I'd recommend this one to beginning clayers of any age. Congratulations to Irene and her terrific editor for a fabulous, fun book! zig 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

Great! Fun! Super!,
By donebydebbie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polymer Clay: 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold & Squish (Lark Kids' Crafts) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book. It is GREAT! And not only for kids. It has inspired me even though I'm WAY past the kid stage :o) I've done countless craft programs with various ages of children in the past 10 years, so I know what it takes to work with children. This book is wonderful for kids to use on their own or for adults to follow. The directions are clear & everything is easy to understand. I LOVE the kids in the book. Lark did a great job with the photos. They look like they are having fun :o) My favorites ideas are the"Makin' Faces Face Plates" (what a riot!), "Pushpinzzzzzzzz", "Fine Feathered Friends", and "Spirit Dolls". I'm planning to give a copy of the book to a friend's 9 year-old daughter for Christmas.

Not just for kids...,
By Christine Blossom "Christine Blossom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polymer Clay: 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold & Squish (Kids' Crafts (Paperback)): 30 Terrific Projects to Roll, Mold and Squish (Paperback)
This book is not only good for kids, but a good book for adults who are just getting started with polymer clay. I've been using polymer clay for years and got some great ideas for my own art from this book. My kids love the variety of projects and are excited about working with PC.
