This ESSENSON clay set is a solid choice if you want a budget-friendly, colourful modelling kit for kids who enjoy crafts. The 27 colours give plenty of variety, and the fact it air dries without baking is handy. At £9.99, it's a fair price for the quantity. However, if you need a sturdier, more durable modelling material for older children or permanent sculptures, consider a polymer clay instead. For casual play and school projects, it hits the mark.
Editorial review
This ESSENSON air dry clay kit gives you 27 vibrant colours in one box, making it a versatile choice for little artists. The clay is soft and ultra-light, so small hands can easily shape it into animals, flowers, or whatever they imagine. You can also mix colours to create custom shades, which adds to the fun.
The clay dries naturally within 24 to 48 hours, depending on how thick your creation is. No oven or baking required – just leave it out and let it harden. Once dry, kids can paint or decorate their models if they like. The kit also includes basic tools to help with shaping and detailing.
At £9.99, down from £11.99, this set offers good value for a full rainbow of colours. It's a solid pick for rainy afternoons, school projects, or as a gift for birthdays or Christmas. With over 1,200 reviews averaging 4.2 out of 5, most parents find it a hit with children aged 3 to 8.
Just keep in mind that the clay is lightweight, so finished pieces won't feel like traditional heavy pottery. If you're after a sturdy, long-lasting material, this may not be the right choice. But for creative play and easy use at home or in the classroom, it does the job well.
Price trend
This 27-colour ESSENSON clay kit is currently listed at £9.99, saving you £2 off the usual £11.99 price. That's a 17% discount on a well-reviewed set. Given the number of colours and included tools, it's a decent price for a creative gift idea.
