Fimo and Sculpey are polymer clays that can be shaped and cooked in the oven to become hard. Like Play-Doh but better : ) We love this stuff and when it goes on sale for $0.99 a pack we buy a bunch. Just make sure that once you open a pack you store the remainder in sealed plastic bags or air tight containers so it doesn't dry out. We have made little figurines, Christmas ornaments and magnets with it. Try it out and you will be hooked! This is a great material for kids who use Play-Doh for sensory issues or working on fine motor skills because it is harder than Play-Doh. Plus it is very motivating to use once they realize that their creations can be baked, kept and displayed. All the Sculpey creations in these pictures were made by my daughter all by herself. She is soooo artistic and creative.
She lost the first ducky and made another and then we found the first one. Even though it becomes hard when baked it is still breakable (notice the broken "feet" on the duck on the right)
Rudolph, Santa and some of his elves. Santa can come out of the sleigh as well as his sack of toys.
The brown critter on the left was made by Olivia for 100 day and had 100 spaghetti quills that all ended up snapping off : (
Olivia's handmade jewelry (I just couldn't get a clear picture. My camera was not liking her room)
