National Geographic Pottery Wheel for Kids Complete Beginner Kit

Fantastic gift

Purchased this for my grandson who is 8 years old. He is very creative. He loves the gears and was amazed how easy it is to create a bowl with your hands and then paint it. I enjoyed doing it with him ac well. Good for ages over 7 to adults. Very durable, not flimsy.

Fun for kids and adults, can be really messy, but just prepare a lot of covers. Don’t really like that it’s made of plastic so it’s slightly flimsy, but overall great fun gift and activity idea!

Performance: It delivers. It's up to the individual how precise they are in following intructions. Mainly, one has to have patience so adult supervision is best so if child needs assistance and could use words of affirmation, it'll definitely help. Appearance: Exactly as shown. Durability: I give it an 8/10. Not flimsy. Ease of cleaning: Very easy. Wet rag or wet wipes will do. Dryness: You just have to feel for it. A little drip or dab of water here and there. Value for money: It's worth it for me. One ought to be mindful that this isn't the profressional potter's wheel.

Grand daughter has had hours of fun creating. easy to use, just put down a old shower curtain and let her use her imagination. She is a 10 year old and created some very nice pieces. Easy to use and set up. Good value for the money.

Bought as a gift. It was difficult for my child to use and she got very frustrated that she could not create things. Overall a little messy but that comes with doing pottery.

This was a gift to our 8 year old grandson. He had a real interest in learning to throw pottery so it seemed like a fit. He may be a little young for it and I think even the package suggests an older age. It definitely required supervision for him and help setting up and reading instructions. A video link was included and very helpful. Nealy a must to review this video as it would have been trickier without it. It worked pretty well but our grandson was very patient and listened well to instructions. More attention deficit children would probably be difficult. I had some pottery experience so that helped a lot. The clay provided is tricky to work with but we managed. Read carefully. I think it's best for much older patient children. It did work though and he managed to turn a cute little vase.

It's great!

This was a really fun device with lots of replay value. We made a number of items with the clay enclosed in the initial package before requiring more. The wheel itself has a slight learning curve to become functionally fun (with good documentation and instructions enclosed), but you could clearly invest more time to develop skills before outgrowing the wheel. We really enjoyed the process and products. It was a great way to learn and have an afternoon of fun on a rainy day. I would hands down recommend for any child interested in pottery. The Nat Geo toys are very user friendly and relaible

Ha sido una experiencia genial, el kit viene muy completo, fantástico!

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas 2024! Boy did I get it right! She absolutely loves this pottery wheel. Wish the instructions were a little clearly, but once she watched a video on how to use it, she’s been making stuff ever since. Quality is great, very durable. Would highly recommend this

The air dry clay that comes with the kit is difficult to use on the wheel. Recommend using actual clay and then the results are more to expectations. Fun for school to introduce students to the wheel. Easy to pack and transport, good video tutorials to watch.

My daughter wanted to try pottery and was very happy with this set.Easy to use and lots of instructional videos.Would recommend
