Fun, cute, and easy way to learn Polymer Clay basics

Just before purchasing the book, I was able to read the preview and figure out which polymer clay to purchase along with the book. After the book and clay arrived, I skimmed through the entire introduction and then got started with my two daughters ages 8 and 10. They were quickly able to figure out what to do and spent the afternoon making adorable figures. I easily made two rabbits and my husband a football helmet (not in the book).

My older daughter and I both felt the previous 1-star review was unfair. She wrote the following review:
"Kawaii Polymer Clay Creations is a great book. The author gives clear instructions and shows good photos of all of the steps. Activates are fun and simple and can get the whole family involved. It defiantly helps that Emily Chen teaches with basic shapes. This book gives good ideas and helpful suggestions."

Cute simple creations with easy step-by-step instructions.

This book tells what things you need and gives tips & techniques, seems like it would be perfect for a complete beginner or good for any level polymer clay artist if you like cute things. It contains useful instructions for making eye pins and jump rings for jewelry. Each creation has step-by-step instructions. I have about 20 books on polymer clay and this is one of my new favorites.

Not a Supercute craft book.

This book had no photos or drawings to illustrate the process of creating with polymer clay. I don't think I could ever create a clay creature by using the book so it was not very useful to me. There are definitely better books out there for adults and kids.

Must buy

This book is great, very easy for kids to not only understand but are able to copy what is shown in the book. This was bought for a 8 year old and a 12 year old. Both loved the subjects shown in the book. Would recommend buying it.

The book is well illustrated and easy for kids to follow

My 11 year old daughter when through a polymer clay phase so I purchased this book for her. At the time, the book was $19.99. A bit pricey but it kept her entertained. The book is well illustrated and easy for kids to follow. She made a lot of the creations from this book and I was amazed that she was able to do it herself. After making the clay animations, she baked them and put a magnetic piece behind them. They are now on our fridge, proudly displayed.

She loved it and has had no problems following the instructions

I got this for a birthday gift for my 10 year old niece. She loved it and has had no problems following the instructions. She made me the unicorn right away and it turned out awesome! The items are all very cute and things you would actually want to create! I think this book is great for both adults and kids!
