There are 24 little packets of clay that are all different colours. They are individually sealed, so you can creat items with this set, put it away for months and when you come back to it the unused clay is nice and fresh. The set includes modelling tools to shape the clay, fixings for jewellery, phone charm and key ring and a clear instruction booklet with idea of what you could make and how to bake it. You can then oven bake the clay to harden it, or it can even be hardened with a hairdryer which is great for younger users who want to be a bit more independent.
