Sculpey Amazing Eraser Clay - 6 Colors/1oz each Reviews

Customer Ratings:

We received this as a much desired gift. My girls both have ridiculously extensive Iwako collections, so the idea of making their own erasers was very appealing. We're a crafty bunch and are quite familiar with the Sculpey brand we love it!

With this particular clay, however, it was a bit tricky to produce a product that actually erased. After much trial and error, we determined that the erasibility of the product was dependent on the baking time. Per Sculpey.com:

"Bake at 250 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4 in (6 mm) thickness. DO NOT MICROWAVE. Baking should be completed by an adult. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME"

Those familiar with "normal" Sculpey will notice that this is NOT the same temperature as usual.

One factor which could lead to a less than ideal eraser is the calculation of the baking time. The designs that we came up with were rather small neither of my girls seemed to want a brick/paperweight sized eraser...picky, aren't they. Anyway, smaller size = smaller parts, of varying sizes and thickness. It is difficult to determine the bake time of, for example, a strawberry that is an inch at the top, tapering down to an 1/8th of an inch at the bottom. Add to that the leaves and stem, each with their own thickness, and you end up needing a degree in advanced calculus just to determine a proper baking time.

So, purchase this product knowing that:

1. Over baking ='s no erasing.

2. Determining an ideal bake time involves a learning curve.

3. Once #'s 1. and 2. are overcome, this stuff makes wonderfully fun erasers, sure to generate the admiration of one's peers and a possible sales opportunity for your kids.

And, finally,

4. Sculpey is rather chintzy with this clay. Don't expect to get that much of each color.

All in all, I would still recommend this product for children 7-8 and above.

My grand daughter likes crafts. There seems to be plenty of this Sculpey clay to keep making erasers for days. There are many colors to use, and every day when we speak on the phone, she tells me what new erasers she has made. I am particularly pleased that there seems to be enough clay to last a long time. I tried the erasers, and I have to admit I have used better erasers, but they will erase.

My 2 girls love Sculpey clay, so when I saw they offered clay to make erasers I knew they would love that too. They had lots of fun making all kinds of erasers, but that's where the fun ends. The clay does NOT erase. It just leaves a colored smear on the paper. If you are looking for something fun and creative for your kids buy some regular Sculpey clay, but don't waste your money on this. Its not worth it.

This is the 3rd time we've purchased this item. My creative son loves to make erasers of his own vision. He enjoys the sculpting of the clay and the baking. He uses the erasers in school and all his friends comment on them. I would recommend this product since it is imaginative and not messy at all!!

I bought this for my son who picks his nails. I thought this would give him something to pull apart in school and also use as an eraser. Unfortunately the eraser colored the paper rather than erasing.
