When I ordered this, I thought my little one would be able to make one candle holder. It was a pleasant surprise to find from the helpful manual that we were able to repeat the process three times to make three candle holders. Everything you need is included including a straw and a star shape cutter to create a little accent to the holder, if they wish. You get 18 deeply pigmented-coloured ovenbake clays in the set. Enough to make three holders easily. There are also three LED candles in the set which come preinstalled with button batteries (parental supervision required as these batteries are very dangerous if ingested). The set also includes a little silicone mat to prepare your creations and shape your clay. The process is simple in thery if you follow the illustrated manual. We were able to use the trimming knife to cut the designs to exactly the right size. We then placed the silicone mould with the clay structure in the oven and allow it to bake. We allowed it to bake for a couple of extra minutes than their suggested time. Only a single holder can be made at a time as there is only one silicone mould. The candles included, fit perfectly into the finished designs. Our daughter was very pleased with the finished results and even took them to school for her show and tell. For £13 it is a lovely little easy-to-follow arts and crafts set. I hope it stays this price as I plan to buy it again for a upcoming birthday party. Just one hint: The clay is very pigmented! It can stain your hands and clothes. Use aprons. The stain does mostly come away with some warm soapy water. 5 stars Lire la suite

This was ordered to add to our rainy day kits for when we are child minding her niece & nephew. My GF and her niece spent the afternoon making them while I spent the afternoon at a workbench with her nephew repairing half a dozen slot racing cars he'd bought at a car boot sale, not a bad way to spend an afternoon at all. The kit consists of a single silicon mould, three LED "Tea light candles), eighteen chunks of clay in various colours, a plastic tube/rolling pin, a star shaped cutter, some shiny "gem" stickers and a couple of tools. I won't go into the methods used to mould the clay around the silicon core mould but it's nothing at all complicated, most kids should be able to manage perhaps with a little guidance and an extra had here & there. They have to be baked in the oven which means you can only do one at a time but I think this also gives kids an opportunity to learn by any mistakes made so each one can get successively better. It also means they can fill a whole afternoon making them or stretch the kit out over a few sessions. The results were surprisingly good, they aren't going to be appearing in a department store near you nay time soon but they gave here a great sense of achievement and she was visibly proud of her work when she presented her mum with one of the lanterns when she arrived to pick them up. Kits like this that let kids get creative are an immensely valuable tool to help them develop their minds as well as the skills it takes to make things, as far as I'm concerned a good craft kit that helps them to learn while having fun is always worthwhile having around. When we first introduce the kids to kits like these they weren't too keen but now they are looking around for ones they want to do and even saving up to buy bigger better kits and extra supplies for the crafts they liked the most. As far as I'm concerned that's a win, and it's all down to kits just like this one. Lots of fun and learning too. Five stars. Lire la suite

The "make your own clay lanterns" is a smaller then expected kit but perfectly suitable for a patient child due to the fact that only one mould form is provided so only one lantern can be built at a time. The clay used here is Polymer Clay, a great product that I use regularly in craft works. It was a pleasure sharing some Tricks I've learnt over the years and my daughters have both made perfect lanterns. some of the tricks are below. #1 The mould form is made of silicon and is rather flimsy, so recommendation number one is to stuff the cavity making it less flexible but not to the point where it is bulging. Make sure you remove the stuffing before baking. #2 mould release, so important if you happen to have any otherwise use cornflower. It will help you to remove the mould form after baking. #3 Polymer clay when baked becomes plastic, leave it to cool down at room tempatuere until removing the mould. Not only will it be easier to remove but your lantern will be solid. Polymer clay although feels harder when you remove it from the oven its actually still soft on the inside that will harden as it cools. the rolling mate can be used to not only need the clay or rolling out the desired thickness but also to smoothen your lantern by simply rolling it back n forth on its sides squaring up the base. If the lip was to warp you can also sand it flat after it has cooled. Definitely go nuts with the design contrasting colours will stand out and its easy to get various designs by twisting folding and needing the clay together. I would say to need each colour beforehand, it helps to loosen the material and make it more pliable. Fun little kit, just small is all. Lire la suite

Lanterns were easy and fun to make with 9-year-olds. The instructions were clear, the clay colors vibrant, and the tools were a good quality. We used a rolling pin to roll out the clay, but the rolling tube provided works too. We especially liked the star shaped tool for making star shaped holes. The tools were easy to clean, and we made lanterns a second time with the molds, which worked well. All 5 of the girls were proud of the lanterns they made. Overall it was a fun activity for a reasonable price.

I bought this to use with my 8 year old granddaughter to make Christmas presents for her Mom, dad, papa and Abuela. We had a lot of fun and they came out beautifully. Everyone loved their gift from her and they are very useful as well as beautiful.
