Soapstone is a natural stone with colors that vary from stunning green to beautiful brown.

Using this Rhino Soapstone Carving Kit is easy. First, take out the soapstone animal block from the kit. Then, use the kid - safe carving file to start shaping your sculpture. You can be as creative as you want! As you carve, remember to dip the soapstone in water. This will not only keep your workspace clean but also make the carving process smoother. After you've carved your basic shape, use the coarse sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges. Once that's done, switch to the fine sandpaper for a more polished look. Finally, take the wax bead and use it along with the buffing cloth to give your sculpture a shiny finish. Please note that this kit has small parts, so it's not for children under 3 due to the choking hazard. Also, since soapstone is a natural stone, the color might vary a bit from what you see. To maintain your finished sculpture, keep it away from sharp objects that could scratch it. You can occasionally use the wax and cloth to keep it looking shiny.
