Need to notify the manufacturer and get testing info from them.

Just be sure pieces are big enough to not be choking hazards.

Other than that, polymer clay is rated "non toxic."

I make nothing but Polymer Clay jewelry. Polymer Clay is safe and you can contact the manufacture for important documents. They might charge you a fee, but it's better than a lawsuit!

I agree with artsmakersworldalpha about the size. I am pretty sure it is non toxic, but would contact the company just to be safe. I love ur shop.

I think the main issue with polymer clay and kids has been BPA content, especially in California where we have serious BPA restrictions on kids' products now. However, I think the clay manufacturers responded by reformulating their clays recently, and I would definitely check with them and get their documentation to be on the safe side.
