Hi Luciddream: yes, we have often done it together. first with my own children, then my grandchildren. The eldest grandchild, - 15 yrs. old - isn't much interested anymore, though he might try the clay. I have shown himhow to use a few tools too. It is the middle child who has a real talent, but we all fun with it. Mostly it's the creativity which I encourage as that can help you later in life, you know, thinking outside the box, finding solutions to problems.
