Insnug Kids Pottery Wheel Kit - Complete Pottery Wheel and Painting Kit for Beginners with Modeling Clay, Sculpting Clay and Sculpting Tools, Arts & Crafts, Craft Kits for Kids Age 8-12, 9-12

This product was delivered in a generic cardboard box, not the box that is shown the picture. There were no instructions whatsoever. Bought it as a gift for my niece and we have no idea how to use it

This is going to be a Christmas gift but I took the product out to look at it before I wrapped it. Immediately, I could tell it was going to be easy to use. The wheel/stand has a decent thickness which is indicative of quality. And overall, it looks like a lot of fun! I think my kids are going to love this.

Not what I was expecting

I purchased this Insnug Pottery Wheel Art Craft Kit with Polymer Air Dry Clay for our granddaughter for Christmas. It comes with everything stated on the components list; pottery wheel, 2-pack air-dry clay, sponge, color set, palette for mixing, carving tool, carving stand, tangent, dotting pen, gem stickers, table cover, screwer. What it did not come with that I did not realize is three "C" batteries, so you will need to order these as well. Luckily, I have time to order before Christmas. That is a size I don't usually have around. Our granddaughter is 6 and this is good for her age (with adult help). This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

This painting kit for beginners was ok, my kid had fun, but it didn't last long.

I’m surprised anyone is able to make anything on this. It came with good instructions but any kind of pressure stops the wheel from spinning. If you’re giving this to a kid to mess around and try their hand at shaping something, you’ll probably get your money’s worth of fun, but this wheel is impossible to center on which makes it impossible to make anything you would normally make on a wheel (cups, bowls, plates, you name it). I tried this wheel out for an hour, hoping I could attach a photo to this review, but I couldn’t get a decent piece going. What makes it a good gift (I’m guessing ages 6–12): - Comes with everything you need to make a piece or two - Air dry clay was soft and not dried out - Better than similar wheels in this range; more power, good instructions, accessories are decent - Simple knob function to adjust the speed - Rechargeable What makes this terrible for beginner potters: - Any pressure stops the wheel from spinning. Can’t center, cone, pull, etc. - Not sturdy, tips over with normal pressure - Only spins clockwise (for lefties, righties need the wheel to spin CCW) - Not enough power There you have it. I don’t recommend this if you’re interested in learning pottery, but I do recommend this if you’re looking for a fun gift for a kid.
