I have been using Fimo Polymer for many years and I like Fimo Classic for its quality,
 but now I prefer Sculpey III, Sculpey Premo and Super Sculpey.
When I first set up the Play Clay classes, I gave my young students Fimo soft clay, but
  they were disappointed with the crumbs and have difficulty conditioning the polymer 
clay. Fimo 'SOFT' was a bit misleading and it was not so suitable for kids, the problem 
is the crumbs as you roll the clay. It is quite difficult to control the crumbs if you had not 
try out the clay, sometime it can mess up the floor. 

My solution: compress and compact the Fimo clay before you condition them. 

You will need a rubber mallet or wooden roller



Without removing the wrapper, hammer to 
compress the polymer clay.



Hit and compress from side to side with the 
roller.


The polymer clay will eventually compressed 
and soften into a cube.


Roll and start to condition the Fimo clay, look
there is no crumbs.


To soften the clay further use sculpey softening
liquid.
