Kids Air Dry Clay Pottery Wheel Kit

Exactly what I was after for the school holidays. Something hands-on that gets them making things from scratch.

My daughter absolutely loves creating things, and this has given her a completely new activity to explore. She still talks about how she made her first bowl all by herself.

My daughter got frustrated when the sides wouldn't stay how she wanted. We took a short break, tried again and she finished a lovely little dish.

I bought this for my niece and we spent the afternoon making pottery together. The finished pieces are lovely little reminders of the day.

You need to allow time for setting up, shaping and cleaning afterwards. Better for a relaxed afternoon than something to squeeze in before dinner.

Started as a quick afternoon activity and turned into a full family pottery session. Nobody was particularly talented, but we had a great laugh.

My little girl has been making gifts for everyone lately. This gave her something completely different to try.

My son made a crooked little pot and told me it was for holding treasure. He's already put it in a special spot on his shelf.

Her first little bowl is drying on the windowsill. 🥹

She spent her birthday afternoon making her first pot and then insisted we take photos of it from every angle.

Our second attempt was noticeably better than the first. My daughter was thrilled when she realised she was getting the hang of it.

My grandson was fascinated the moment it started spinning. He wanted to know how pottery was made before we'd even finished setting up.

A fun way to give pottery a go without needing to book a class or use a kiln.

The clay and water got a little messier than expected. Easy enough to tidy afterwards, just something to be prepared for.

My eight year old has enjoyed every stage, from shaping the clay to waiting for the finished piece to dry.

My husband insisted he could make a perfectly round bowl. The finished result would suggest otherwise.

My daughter and I don't often get a whole afternoon together without interruptions. We really enjoyed making our little pots.

My daughter made me a tiny dish for my earrings. It's not particularly even, but I'll treasure it.

Honestly thought I'd just be supervising, but I ended up wanting a turn on the wheel myself.

My granddaughter is very happy with it.

My daughter wasn't impressed that her pot needed time to dry. She's checked it about twelve times today.

We were stuck inside and this gave the kids something creative to focus on.

Was supposed to be a bowl, apparently turned into a volcano halfway through. He's already planning his next eruption.

Definitely requires an adult nearby for younger children. My daughter is six and we had a lovely time doing it together.

Nice to have something a bit different from the usual painting and colouring.

My boy stood there watching his little pot dry and telling us all the things he was going to make next.

My girls usually argue over every craft supply imaginable. This time they were taking turns helping each other with their designs.

She couldn't wait to show me what she'd made.

Our clay kept going wonky and we had to start over. Much better once we slowed down and stopped trying to rush it.

It's especially enjoyable if your child likes taking their time with craft projects. My daughter has been very happy with it.

We knew absolutely nothing about pottery and still managed to make a little dish. Pretty happy with that!

I bought this to do with the grandkids when they visit. We've made a few odd-looking creations and had a lot of laughs.

Started off very neatly. Twenty minutes later there were clay fingerprints on the table and my son was wearing half his creation. Good fun though.

My son isn't usually interested in craft kits but he loved watching the wheel spin and trying to control the clay.
