Good Question.

Short answer is NO. Polymer clay is officially rated as non-toxic.

HOWEVER, it can be dangerous if consumed in large quantities (duh!) or over baked (over baking causes toxic fumes to be released)

But again, polymer clay, when used properly, is very safe. Just keep an eye on the kids to make sure they arent eating the stuff Surprised

But that goes with pretty much anything Very Happy
