Reddit mentions: The best children sculpture books

There were two Klutz books back in the day for polymer clay, and each came with 8 half-bars of Sculpey III (a low-quality polymer clay); they wouldn't have the clay still included though if purchased at amazon, eBay, etc.

Those were very simple books oriented toward kids, and almost entirely small sculpted items in the second book (the first book had more techniques), but I see there's at least one newer Klutz polymer clay book (not by the same author/s though) on making sculpted "charms":

There are better books for those things though, even for simple sculpts (including "charms") like these for example:
https://www.amazon.com/Clay-Play-JEWELRY-Terry-Taylor/dp/0486799441
https://www.amazon.com/Polymer-Clay-Cookbook-Tiny-Jewelry/dp/0823024849

But there's also loads of FREE info, tutorials, etc, online at YouTube and at places like my website for making things like that, and many other things with polymer clay.

Basic Playdough (Nonedible)

• 1 cup flour
• 2 Tbsp cream of tartar
• ½ cup salt
• 1 to 2 Tbsp cooking oil
• 1 cup water
• food coloring
Mix flour, cream of tartar, and salt in a pan. Mix desired coloring with water, add with oil to dry mixture. Cook over medium heat until thick. Mix in coloring later if preferred.

This seems most similar to the one I remember as a child, I'll check with my mother to see if it is correct (if she still has it).

You should check out this incredible book:
http://www.amazon.com/Mudworks-Creative-Modeling-Experiences-Learning/dp/0935607021

Which is filled with fantastic recipes. I remember the silly-putty one being difficult to get correct but worth the effort. It was great to have more of it than I knew what to do with as a child.

Maybe that would also be a good book for these children.

Sure thing! I got them Photo Adventures for Kids and Go Photo! An Activity Book for Kids. Hopefully my links work :)

It wouldn't happen to be Leonardo's Horse would it?
