Um, I mean, I became interested in having <em>my kids<\/em> try out a toy pottery wheel!<\/p>\n<p>After reading many reviews of many different brands of toy pottery wheels, I learned some tips for successfully using them. They are simple to use, but there are also some common pitfalls that many reviewers complain about. Over in my article for eBay*, I&#8217;ve written down my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/gds\/tips-for-using-kids-pottery-wheels\/59156371747113085ec7d088\/g.html?roken2=ti.pSGVhdGhlciBNYW5u\">Tips for Using Kids Pottery Wheels<\/a>, so check them out! (*I wrote that article as a part of a paid collaboration with eBay.)<\/p>\n<p>Artful Parent recommends the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ptz81a\">Faber-Castell Do Art Pottery Studio<\/a>, and it also has the best reviews on Amazon. The only thing that I notice about it that I potentially don&#8217;t like is that it is only battery-operated and doesn&#8217;t include an AC adapter for plugging in the pottery wheel. I would prefer to plug my wheel in, instead of having to use up batteries and then hunt around for (or buy additional) batteries when they inevitably run out.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to trying out a toy pottery wheel.
