I have taught hundreds of Polymer Clay classes to students of all ages and abilities and these products are the SAME ones I used to set up the classroom tool kits, and rarely did we run into a project that these tools couldn't tackle. Honestly you could probably just get started with your hands and a block of clay- but these items will make sculpting a lot easier!
