The texture on this clay is very hard, which did not necessarily deter my children (ages 4 and 5) from playing with it for over an hour. My issue, however, is the residue left on hands and furniture. It took me over 20 minutes of scrubbing our work surface before I got *most* of the residue off. We have only used the product once and will not be doing so again. Luckily, Lakeshore is awesome and I was able to return this item without issue.

It's as hard as a rock ..I would like to return this it's awful

My son was so excited but he and my husband both had difficulty manipulating it. 1st gift of Christmas for the trash can. Save your $$ and skip this one.

I bought this for a geography lesson and it worked well. Clay is a easy for students to work with.

My oldest loves this clay. He loves to make the numberblocks, planets, alphablocks and more.

I love that this clay doesn’t harden, but it works best for elementary school students because it’s a little too hard for preschoolers to shape with their hands.

We got this for my son who has several food allergies and it’s safe. But for little kids it can be tough to manipulate because it’s pretty hard.

Super awesome and super fun to build with.

Exactly as described! Would buy again.

This product performs exactly as described. I am very pleased with it and my little guy loves it! It's easy for him to manipulate as well...its sturdy enough that it still builds hand strength. The colors are awesome and we can make many different and creative projects.

We do like the clay. The variety of colors is amazing. I got a lot so we can experiment to see if we can make it harden. Now, because it smells so good, I don't want to mess with the smell just to get it to dry better.

Clay is too hard
