Magic Clay Play

by Elizabeth Humphrey, age 10, from US

It all started one day when my mom and I were shopping. My mom was in the hair products aisle while I was in the kid's stuff. I looked around for something good to play with, and I noticed something in a clear, plastic, shiny, silvery, speckled package. The words "CLAY--BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK" were stamped on the package in huge letters. I grabbed the package and practically begged my mom to get it. of course she usually gets everything anyway because she likes to shop so she got it for me. I knew it was the best thing I had ever gotten. The front of the package told me I'd be in for some real excitement.
