When you give your child Crayola’s Clay Sculpting Station, get ready to sit back and watch the fun unfold. This creative kit will bring out your child’s inner artist, giving them the space to express themselves using Crayola’s air-dry clay. The easy-to-use sculpting station comes in a carrying case filled with a nice assortment of supplies to get the process rolling. You’ll find a built-in pottery wheel, 12 paint pots, 4 air-dry clay pouches, 2 paint brushes, 2 texture plates that can be used to imprint designs, and a clay sculpting tool. Clay residue can be messy, so you should be prepared to have your child wear old clothes while creating their masterpieces. The set has directions to create three animal sculptures or a clay pot. The plates, which press designs like swirls into the sculpture, give each piece a more textured professional look. The set comes with an easy-to-follow booklet filled with sculpting inspirations, but the sky is the limit when it comes to your child’s imagination. There are plenty of freestyle patterns to foster inspiration. The clay will take more than overnight to dry, so you’ll want to keep checking the piece before you start painting. Some testers told us that cracking can occur once the clay is dry. Unfortunately, that’s just a reality when working with clay and sculpting. Once your child is ready to paint, they’ll place the piece back on the spinning wheel and rotate it around as they pick from the 12 colors of the small paint bottles. Finally, the case is excellent for keeping everything neat and together.
