Stockmar Modelling Beeswax Sheets – 3 Assorted Colors of Natural Beeswax for Creative Sculpting, Handwork, and Artistic Projects – Ideal Arts and Crafts Supplies for Artists – Red, Blue, Yellow

This is a great buy good quality.

We love this. We homeschool using Oak Meadow and got this to use alongside our curriculum. It sits in a little jar on the table so anyone can grab and play with it. It has a really calming honey beeswax smell, and once it's warm feels so lovely in your hands. My son likes to play with it when I read him stories. We also use it to form letters and varying shapes. I find when we're doing work together I like to play with a small bit, it's a lovely thing to fidget with. We have clay also, but this is nicer as it doesn't really leave much of a residue on your hands, and stays warm and lovely to touch as you use it. It's not messy the way clay is, either. Clay is great and has it's many uses, but this beeswax is really great to have on hand to easily pick up and use, and then put down again without all the clean up and bother of clay. This is something I'll be making sure we always have on hand. I also love it's golden orange colour :)

This stuff is fantastic! The smell is a super sweet earthy beeswax smell and the colors are incredibly rich! I bought this for my oldest who is 2.5 as a stocking stuffer for Christmas! I wanted to get her something that she could fiddle with and I wouldn't have to worry about her making a huge mess! This certainly isn't a replacement for something like art dough but it definitely has a place in our art corner! Some tips I have found is to cut one piece into 2-4 smaller pieces which make it much easier for little hands to warm up. It takes a minute or two to actually become pliable but once it does it can be molded or stretched into just about anything! For younger kids I wouldn't recommend trying to get them to mold intricate little things yet, and just let them focus on stretching it out or balling it up so that way they don't get frustrated with it and they get to enjoy the sensation of it warming and becoming soft and pliable. If you are using this with more then one child you could boil some water and then let it cool for a second and then let the wax sit in the hot water for a minute or two and it warms up in no time!

After looking at this beeswax for several months I finally went ahead and splurged on it. It's great stuff, my four and five year olds really enjoy it. It doesn't have any of the mess involved with play doh or modeling clay. The color doesn't come off on anything and it doesn't crumble. The sheets are larger than I thought they would be, the box they come in is about 5"x5"x1.5". One quarter to one third of a sheet is plenty. It can be used over and over again before it starts to get an off feel to it. The kids are able to use the same small piece every day for a week or so before needing a new piece. The used wax can then be used to decorate the outside of plain candles so it doesn't go to waste. The wax itself is a bit more pliable than candle wax at room temperature. It needs to be held for a minute or two before using. I have the kids take their piece and hold it in their hands while I tell them a short story, the story time part of it is nice and has them asking to hear a story all the time now. I had been holding off on ordering because of the hot summer but I don't think I needed to. I had thought it might arrive a melted mess but even on a 90 degree day it arrived very warm and soft but after sitting at room temperature for a couple hours it was very firm. We've even put it in the fridge to firm it back up when needed then continued to play with it so I don't think ordering during the winter would be a problem either. I'm sure we will order more of it eventually but this box should last for months.

I first purchased STOCKMOR MODELING BEESWAX years ago, when my children were young - I found that it lasted longer than clay (or Play Doh), and the colors were beautifully translucent. I used to keep a bit of it in my purse at all times, where it was easily accessed whenever squirmy kids needed reining in. Now, with my children grown and gone, I find myself reaching for the beeswax as a stress reliever. One sheet, after warming in your hands, is the perfect size for squeezing and shaping and otherwise providing limitless opportunities for manual manipulation! It takes about ten minutes of handling to get it warm enough to work with comfortably, but after that it's a delightful experience. It's great at the end of the day, when I'm looking to unwind and relax. If you are buying this for young children, please take note of the ten minute warming time - children are not the most patient of creatures, so you'll need to help them get the wax sheets ready for modeling. The sheets can be warmed in hot water, which shortens the prep time - but that's not always possible when you're on the go. Great product - I highly recommend it, no matter what your age!

We do a Waldorf and Montessori mixture of toys and crafts in our home, so I thought this modeling wax would be perfect for crafting with my daughter. Even after spending nearly an hour warming the wax in our hands and working with it, the wax was still too hard to manipulate. Since receiving several days ago I have consistently sat and warmed/worked the wax for hours on end to no avail; it is still too hard. I have opted to make some modeling dough with my daughter to use instead. I appreciate and understand the concepts of being intentional with your handwork, however I found this product only brings frustration after hours of warming and working with it to be unable to actually manipulate it.

Perfekt zum Kneten mit Kindern. Riecht sehr angenehm nach Bienenwachs.
