Crayola Air Dry Clay (5lbs), Natural White Modeling Clay for Kids, Sculpting Material, Bulk Craft Supplies, Teacher Classroom Must Haves for School

The most superior air dry clay out there. I have tried so many different types of air dry clay with my daughter, and this is by far our favorite. We can actually make things that don’t dry feeling like foam, and our projects actually stand a chance at holding up. When we are done with our mold, we like to use acrylic paint on top. We have actually even used paint on top of not fully dried clay, and it is perfectly fine too. This has been our go to arts and crafts choice for weeks now.A fun idea you can do with this is mold handprints, or footprints and give them as Gifts to family or friends.There are so many different things and fun projects you can do with this clay.My only advice is to make your item thick enough So it does not break so easily. Thinner projects definitely crack easily.

I bought this for my daughter, but it wound up being a Saturday afternoon family moment and we had such a blast. This clay is super high quality, it doesn't start drying too fast which allows you to get as detailed as you want when modeling, and it's very durable and holds it's shape. It comes in a large tub and it is a lot more than I thought it would be. It's a good buy for the money and for the amount of fun you'll have. We opted to paint all the things we made so after letting it dry over night we used tempera paint. It didn't get tacky or soft while we were painting them and it all turned out super cute. If you are getting this for a younger child, I would recommend "working" the clay a bit before handing it over, it can be a little stiff at first but it softens up very easily.

This is a great clay for the value and offers unlimited imaginative play. You can make so many things out of this and I think it’s a great investment both beginners and higher level can use this clay. It lasts a while and it’s easy to work with.

This clay is perfect for sculpting. It dries relatively fast. as it dries it starts to crack a little bit, I just use a toothpick and a small amount of water to try and bond the cracks. If the clay becomes dry just put some water on it and knead it for a couple of minutes. It’s easy to clean. I wouldn’t recommend putting clay directly onto wooden surfaces. Other than the cracking this clay is perfect!

First the value is insane. This tub is LARGE. Do not be like me and buy 2 containers unless you want to be making clay creations for months on end. 😂We bought this to add to our art cabinet for after dinner family activities and it has been such a delight. We each get some clay and mold it into little treasures, typically small animals, and paint them once they air dry. The clay itself isn’t super wet or sticky and we don’t find the smell to be unpleasant. We enjoy that it dries white so it’s easy to paint afterwards.As for durability, it seems to do well. We are making and air drying tiny little animal creations, not baking them in a kiln, and I genuinely feel like for the most part they stay together really well. We have had a few mishaps, but overall we really enjoy this product and will be purchasing it again.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I'm a serial Hobbyist and I recently can across this one. Ordered it along with some tools and have been enjoying it so much. Just keep the lid close when not using as it dries quickly as compared to polymer clay. And you have to use water to help with the cracks. Takes a little bit of time to get a hang of it. But overall , very fun activity 💯

I was tempted to give this 4 stars, but I don’t think that would be completely fair it was my first time using this product after reading several reviews and recommendations.I used it in my art class for a flower making project. As you can see in the photos, some flowers broke, and I had to use E5000 glue because the Gorilla glue gun wasn’t working well with this material. In some cases, the clay may have dried out or just wasn’t pressed together enough to hold properly.That said, many of the students’ flowers did hold up well and dried nicely, allowing them to paint over them with acrylics. I plan to use it again, especially now that I understand how it behaves better.Just note it’s much heavier than Model Magic, which would’ve worked better for my specific purpose. But overall, this is a solid product once you get the hang of it.
