Product Information

Full details

This Mini Craft Kit Modelling set is designed for children aged 6 and up, offering a fun and engaging way to spark creativity and imagination through robot construction. Its key benefit lies in the self-hardening stone clay that provides a realistic, durable finish without baking, making it an accessible and mess-free craft activity. A potential caveat is the presence of small parts, making it unsuitable for children under 36 months. The kit includes all necessary materials, such as stone clay, decorative accessories like pipe cleaners, beads, Silk Clay®, and Foam Clay®, along with step-by-step instructions, to build a unique robot.

FAQs

How long does the stone clay take to dry completely?

The stone clay is self-hardening and takes approximately 24 hours to dry completely and set hard.

Do I need to bake the robot?

No, the stone clay is self-hardening and air-dries on its own. No baking is required.

What age is this craft kit suitable for?

This craft kit is recommended for children aged 6 years and older.

Can I use other types of clay with this kit?

While the kit is designed with its specific materials, you can experiment with other air-dry clays. However, the stone effect and hardening properties will be unique to the included stone clay.

What should I do if I run out of a specific material?

The kit is designed to provide sufficient materials for one robot. If you wish to create more, you would need to source similar materials separately.

Is the finished robot washable?

The finished robot can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth. It is not recommended to wash it under running water or submerge it, as this may damage the materials.

Are the materials non-toxic?

The product information states it's suitable for children aged 6+, implying it meets safety standards for its recommended age group. However, it is not intended for ingestion.

Can I paint the robot after it's dry?

Once the stone clay is fully dry and hard, you can paint it with acrylic paints for an additional customisation layer, though the included decorative materials offer plenty of colour.

Troubleshooting

Stone clay is too hard to work with.

Lightly moisten the clay with a few drops of water and knead thoroughly until it becomes pliable again.

Decorative elements (Silk Clay®, Foam Clay®, beads) are not sticking.

Ensure the stone clay surface is slightly tacky or still slightly damp before applying decorations. If the stone clay is fully dry, a tiny amount of water on the surface can help the decorations adhere.

Clay has dried onto the work surface.

Gently try to scrape off excess clay while it's still pliable. If hardened, a damp cloth and gentle scrubbing may help lift it. Always protect your work surface beforehand.

The robot is fragile after drying.

Ensure the stone clay has dried for the full 24 hours. Handle the finished robot with care, especially the finer decorative elements.

Pros and Cons

  • Encourages creativity and imagination.
  • Develops fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.
  • Self-hardening clay means no baking required, simplifying the process.
  • Provides a realistic and durable stone-like finish.
  • Includes all necessary materials for a complete project.
  • Sparks interest in STEM concepts through construction and design.

Cons

  • Contains small parts, not suitable for children under 36 months.
  • Drying time of 24 hours may require patience from younger children.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Open the kit and identify all included components: Stone Clay (grey and pink), Pipe cleaners, Beads, Silk Clay®, Foam Clay®, polystyrene ball, 1/2 plastic ball, and instructions.
  2. Select a clean, flat surface to work on. Using a craft mat or newspaper is recommended to protect surfaces from clay.
  3. Children should read through the step-by-step instructions before beginning.

Compatibility:

  • The kit is designed as a self-contained unit. All included materials are compatible with each other for optimal results.
  • Stone clay can be slightly moistened with water if it begins to dry out during sculpting; knead it thoroughly.

Care:

  • For the Clay: Store unused Stone Clay, Silk Clay®, and Foam Clay® in their original airtight packaging or airtight containers to prevent them from drying out. If the clay accidentally dries out, try kneading a small amount of water into it.
  • For the Finished Robot: Once the stone clay has fully hardened (approx. 24 hours), the robot is durable. To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the robot or using harsh cleaning agents, as this may damage the clay or decorative elements.
