(More customer reviews)The recommended age on this Model Magic is 5 and up, which I think is accurate. My daughter is 3 1/2 and, while I knew she would love the characters pictured, I wasn't sure if she'd be able to create them. She couldn't. But that's OK... we had fun trying anyway, and she made her own creature without using the tools.
I found that the "dots" work as described-- you press down on the clay with a tool, give a little twist, and it picks up a small piece that you can then press onto your figure. About half the time, it took two or three tries instead of one to pick it up, but it was still easy enough to do it. The kit leaves room for creativity, and the clay is fun to work with. It does have a consistency sort of like pulled marshmallows, but it doesn't leave sticky residue on your hands. The finished products can be set out to display or given to proud grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.
BUT-- here's the big negative.
On the bottom of the box is this warning: "Crayola Model Magic contains colorants which may stain."
Uh, yeah.
A small piece of clay got stuck to a stuffed animal, and despite how valiantly I tried to pick it out with my nails, or wash it out, it didn't work. I had to cut the fur off the stuffed animal to get it out. And my daughter also left a damp washcloth on top of a piece of clay. It stained and will not come out.
It's a big enough pain getting play dough out of carpets and socks and clothing; this is worse. This is a nightmare. So that's another reason why I strongly suggest either buying this only for older kids who can be trusted not to get it stuck in bad spots, or supervising VERY closely and keeping all fabric/stuffed toys/etc. away from the play table.
