Pottery wheels have been used for thousands of years to create clay pots. Today's kids can enjoy making their own clay pots with the help of this well-designed kit. It includes a molded plastic pottery wheel with a foot pedal, an AC adapter, white and terra cotta clay, six tiny pots of paint, a sponge, two paintbrushes, two clay knives, and a clay-cutting cord.

Additional common household items such as paper towels, newspaper, and a plate are also needed to complete the pots. A 12-page instruction booklet is included with safety tips, a brief history of pottery, and step-by-step, illustrated instructions for molding and painting pots. The pottery wheel can be operated with the AC adapter or with four D batteries (not included), and parental supervision is recommended. --Marcie Bovetz, mother and former children's librarian
