I wonder if you got the wrong kind of clay. I noticed at one store
that there was some modeling clay (non-cure type) right next to the
Kato polymer clay that had exactly the same smiley face logo on it.

The same company makes Plastolina, a non-baked clay used by kids and also
animators. I will melt to a pourable state when heated.

Yes, its really too bad they didn't spring for different designs on the
package, as the products are so different.
