Sculpey Set; Makes Great Sculptures!

What a perfect way to enjoy Sculpey, and such a creative gift, too! This sampler includes 30 one-ounce bars from the Classic, Bright and Pearl Color groups. Sculpey can be made into a permanent sculpture by baking it in the oven. Includes detailed instructions and project suggestion brochure. I bought this for my younger brothers birthday, and he loved it! He loves playing with playdoh and sculpting different objects. We tried to set him up for a pottery/ceramics class, but they said he was still too young. (I didn’t think 7 was that young!) Anyway, we bought him this cool sculpey set, and its great!
