My children 5 and 3 love this and spend at least a half hour to an hour with it multiple times a week.The clay does not dry out, though we do take care to put the clay back into ziploc bags.As another reviewer said, the clay sticks in the crevices, but we just ignore it because it gets covered up anyway. And that clay never dries out.They’ve been playing with this since March and aside from them having mixed most of the colors together, the clay is still usable and the dinosaur fossils are still great. Attached is a pic to show what it looks like with near weekly play for the last 8 months. Not bad at all.We are buying the mythical creatures one next.The clay has a lot of resistance, so it is great for pushing and molding which builds finger and hand strength- better than playdough. The girls have been watching tan dulce cakes on YouTube, so I brought out a doll with plastic hair and they mold the clay and cut into shapes to dress her.I wish they would come up with more animal shapes to mold, especially because they serve as a guide to create.

When opened, I wasn't sure this was something a child could do. The clay felt very hard and non-moldable. However, after opening the clay packets, the clay softened up quickly and became something my daughter enjoyed very much. She recently asked for another kit for Christmas.

This was a hit with my son and his friend. they were captivated by this activity and saved their dinosaur sculptures to play with afterwards. Other than helping out with rolling out the clay, they were able to continue independently. It was fun to observe their strategies for getting the clay onto the dinosaur skeletal frames. One trade-off is that the clay doesn't dry, so it's a bit challenging storing these afterwards. they currently stand on a piece of cardboard when not in use. BUT i guess it would be possible to purchase more sculpting clay and re-use the skeletal frames. The clay did stain the white table a bit but i was able to remove easily following the activity.

This was a great activity, however the clay does not come off afterwards. I tried soaking it in hot soapy water, scrubbing them with a stiff nylon brush, scrubbing again with baking soda, but still there was clay. I got enough of it off to where they can be used again, but I think we will try using playdough next time instead. My only other complaint is that there was not enough clay. They seemed to be able to fully complete 2 creatures with each kit and the third was not able to be made unless they removed some clay off another one. I would still purchase this kit again even with the cleaning difficulty and lack of clay though. The plastic skeletons are well made and durable, and the kids were occupied for hours.

I gave this as a gift for a 4th birthday and the child loved the skeletons. They were not as interested in the clay but did attach the googly eyes to two of the dino's. Overall a well received present and highly recommend for kids who love dino's and skeletons.

This is the 3rd set I’ve bought for a birthday gift for my child’s friends. It’s a fun unique craft and toy. The perfect gift!

My 5 and 4 year old grandsons did not maintain their interest in this. Putting the clay on the skeleton's was above the ability of the 4 year old, and not interesting enough for the 5 year old

I did this with my four year old that loves turtles as a reward for finishing our week about the letter T. We really had fun doing this together. The clay was very strong glow in the dark. The glass beads didn’t really glow very well, but we were fine with that. I would definitely buy this again and will probably gift it in the future.
