  • Crayola Air Dry Clay allows your little ones to create fun and imaginative shapes with ease. This soft modeling material can either be reused or air dried to preserve your creation. No baking is ever required. Smoother, finer, and less sticky than traditional clay, this Crayola modeling clay is perfect for group activities. You can even soften the clay with water if needed, allowing kids to enjoy hours of fun making and re-making favorite creations. Once your child is finished creating, the air dried clay is great for painting. This product is designed for children ages 4 and older.

    • When creating with Crayola® Air-Dry Clay, we recommend your sculpture be formed into a 3-D solid structure. If you feel an armature is necessary, it is best to choose one that allows a small amount of give such as crumpled aluminum foil. Using a rigid armature can result in cracked Air-Dry Clay since the armature is unable to constrict while the Air-Dry Clay dries.

    • Crayola® Air-Dry Clay can be sealed once your piece is completely dry after 72 hours. Once dry, we suggest using an acrylic varnish. Make sure to test its compatibility with the varnish before applying it to a finished piece.
       
      Sealing your work will not waterproof it. Exposure to water and outdoor elements will have a negative effect on the Air-Dry Clay, so we recommend displaying your sculpture indoors.

    • Decorating sculptures made with Crayola® Air-Dry Clay is fun and easy!

       

      • Paint: Thoroughly dry pieces may be painted with tempera, acrylic, or watercolor paint
      • Markers: Non-Permanent & Washable Markers may not provide optimal coverage if you are coloring a large area of clay since the clay tends to clog the marker nib. Permanent pigment-based markers work well for writing words on the clay.
      • Glitter Glue can be used to decorate dry artwork.
      Other product suggestions: pigment-based stamping pads and metallic powder pigment embellishments.
