Hey Clay Plant Friends (15 cans)

Sculpt a Sunflower, Bamboo, and Bromeliad — Hey Clay Plant Friends (15 Cans)

The Hey Clay Plant Friends set brings three more botanical characters to life — a cheerful Sunflower, towering Bamboo, and exotic Bromeliad. With 15 cans of soft, lightweight air-dry clay, sculpting tools, and an exclusive code for the free Hey Clay app’s interactive 3D step-by-step instructions, kids build each plant character one simple shape at a time. Like the Plant Folks set, Plant Friends is designed for more advanced sculptors — the botanical forms reward patience and fine detail work, and the finished trio makes a striking display alongside any other Hey Clay plants in the collection.

What’s Included

• ✅ 15 cans of Hey Clay — colour-matched across all 3 plant characters
• ✅ Sculpting tools — for shaping, detailing, and texturing
• ✅ Exclusive app code — unlocks 3D step-by-step instructions for all 3 Plant Friends in the free Hey Clay app

The 3 Plant Friends

• 🌻 Sunflower — bold, cheerful petals and a classic round face; the most immediately recognisable of the three
• 🎍 Bamboo — tall, segmented stalks with clean lines and layered leaf detail
• 🌺 Bromeliad — a striking tropical plant with layered rosette leaves and vivid colour

Why Kids and Parents Love It

• ✅ Three botanically distinct characters — the Sunflower, Bamboo, and Bromeliad are genuinely different in form and sculpting challenge: one radiating, one vertical and segmented, one layered and rosette-shaped; each teaches a different set of sculpting approaches
• ✅ Designed for more advanced sculptors — Hey Clay positions Plant Friends alongside Plant Folks as a step up from the animal and character sets; the botanical shapes involve more complex forms and finer detail work, making it best suited to kids who’ve already built confidence with clay
• ✅ The 3D app guides every step — the free Hey Clay app provides rotatable, zoomable 3D instructions for each plant character, keeping the more complex shapes achievable without frustration
• ✅ Real sculpting techniques through play — spheres, cylinders, textures, and facial features are the building blocks; kids develop genuine technique while staying focused entirely on the creative result
• ✅ Pairs with Plant Folks for a full botanical collection — Plant Friends and Plant Folks together give kids six distinct plant characters to sculpt and display as a complete set
• ✅ Air-dry, non-sticky, non-toxic, stain-free — safe and manageable for young artists; finished characters harden at room temperature with no baking required

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Plant Friends differ from Plant Folks?

Both sets are 15-can Hey Clay kits designed for more advanced sculptors at the same price point. The difference is the three characters: Plant Friends features the Sunflower, Bamboo, and Bromeliad, while Plant Folks features the Bird of Paradise, Snake Plant, and Salvia Blooms. Both sets are fully compatible for display and are designed to complement each other as a six-plant botanical collection.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Hey Clay describes Plant Friends as designed for more advanced sculptors. Kids from age 3 can use it, but it’s most rewarding for those who’ve already built some clay confidence with simpler Hey Clay sets. First-timers are better served by the single character packs or the Ocean set before stepping up to the plant range.

Do you need the app?

The clay works without the app, but the free Hey Clay app is strongly recommended for the Plant Friends set given the more complex botanical shapes. The 3D rotatable instructions make the layered and segmented forms much easier to achieve. The exclusive code in the box unlocks all three plant character guides.

Is it a good gift?

Yes — it’s a beautiful gift for creative kids aged 6 and up who enjoy clay, craft, or botanical and nature themes. The advanced difficulty makes it a meaningful step up for kids who’ve outgrown beginner sets, and the three finished plant characters make a genuinely lovely display. Particularly special when paired with the Plant Folks set for a complete six-plant collection.
