The clay is softer than most polymer clays from the pack, so it is easy to mold even for children. there is 45 g in the 100 yen pack, which is a very reasonable price for oven bake clay. I have only used the white and blue so far, but the blue color is nice and intense and doesn't leave any residue anywhere. It clings and molds back into itself very well. Once baked, it seems pretty strong, even for the very thin structure I created. There is still a small amount of flexibility to the clay even after baked. It doesn't become rock hard but more like plastic hard. It is great for a kid to work with.

Because the polymer clay is so soft, once you begin playing with it, the warmth from your hands melts it a bit too much so that it is a bit too sticky for my liking. If you over work it and warm it too much it tends to droop and try to pool together. I tried to make a small cube with the clay however it would naturally round out the edges. you must work quickly with it and it needs some kind of support to create structures of any size. Even making something only the size of one packet, the weight of the clay would drag the structure down. I had to lay it on the side in the oven to bake it causing a flat side I didn't want. It was also difficult to smooth out the clay on the surface because it didn't have enough structure to it and it would give under the slightest pressure. I think with practice and tools I could have done a little better job though.
