Oh, I enjoyed this book so much. It was one of my first polymer clay how-to books and taught me about supporting the clay character shapes with aluminum foil and even cardboard. I revised the dragon character and made dinosaurs with lots of animation. They have all sold (to grown-ups)and I'll be making more soon. The story line is great for Moms looking to connect reading with a craft. A must have for new polymer clayers.
CLAY CHARACTERS FOR KIDS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This was my first polymer clay book. I got it because my 8 year-old daughter had a play date with two other girls, and it was raining "cats-and-dogs". I found that, with my supervision, the girls were able to make figures that they were really proud of. No previous practice! But, Oh Oh(!), by the end of the play date the girls were watching mom make figures of her own, and shamelessly ignoring the little ones! That was over two years ago, and polymer clay has become one of my passions. This book is great for introducing the fun and versitility of polymer clay, and is great for kids with adult supervision!

This was my first ever polymer clay book I was very pleased with it. It is suitable for the young or the young at heart. (Especially mothers with toddlers/young children, something to do on a rainy afternoon!)
Not just for kids

Kids are going to love this book - so many wonderful ideas for making their own gifts for family and friends. I think a lot of adults are going to like this book, too. Every project begins with simple steps, but the results are polished and beautiful. Thirty projects, lots of great basic info about colors, color mixing, making shapes, combining shapes, changing expressions, etc.Everything is illustrated in imaginative ways - even the basic color wheel is a whimsical thing. The elves are adorable and the dragon beautiful - a huge range of critters and creatures in between - all appear to be quite do-able.I think this would be a great book even for an adult who wants to try sculpting/modelling - you'll get some great inspiration from this! Plus, the "story-process" in the second half of the book is terrific and all the pictures are just gorgeous! :)Elizabeth
