Perfect for school projects

My high school project came out great, though it takes a couple days to fully dry, it was still as pristine as it was when I was still making it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Hack For The Crack (Kinda)
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: (CC)
from Clinton, NJ

No matter what I have tried, cracking is seemingly unavoidable. However, I have found that if I add water to the clay until it's slightly softer than a Play-Doh consistency, it REALLY helps with the severity of the cracks. I'm wondering what adding some oil or maybe even glue would do...
Anyway, I've been going in and filling the cracks as my projects dry. They're looking great. I can also wet my finger and smooth things out nicely with what I'm working on. As soon as everything is bone dry, I'll be spraying protective coatings on my project pieces.
If anyone cares—I'm working on 3D paw prints of my old gal. I took her prints in salt dough (took multiple of each paw for options/in case one or two ever break in life), baked them, let them cool overnight, and used that to press some clay into. I tried using as minimal clay as possible with some, and others I kept thicker. All have turned out absolutely beautiful so far. Again I do have to watch the cracks and tend to them, but it's worth it. Touching them makes me know I'll always be able to hold her hand no matter how far away we are from each other. Thanks for that, Crayola. I really do appreciate it.

It's great to hear how well your project with Crayola Air-Dry Clay is working out. Those paw prints are precious, so we understand how important it is to do everything possible to make sure there is as little cracking as possible. To help, our experts recommend gently removing the clay from the mold once your figure is formed, ensuring that pieces are at least 1/4" thick. You’re clearly a pro at "paw-fecting" your work, so keep up the great touch-ups by adding a few drops of water to smooth out any cracks. For extra care, you can also press a pinch of wet clay into the cracks and smooth it with your finger. Hope you unleash a rainbow of creativity today! - Chris, Colorful Care Team

Good basic earth clay
on September 29, 2022

from Somewhere, someplace
Was able to make quite a nice sculpt out of this. Has yet to be seen what paint does.
Used a bit of white glue to help bond pieces and reinforce structures, so far has worked like a charm; able to bind dried pieces to one another with no problems.

Easy to sculpt with…but that’s it.
on January 10, 2022
Posted by: marelle
from Canada
Loved sculpting with this, doesn’t dry too fast. I left my small sculptures to cure for a month and when I went to paint them using Golden acrylics (great quality paint) it would easily chip/peel off. I did 3 coats, waiting for them to dry each time, and then tried varnishing them and… they still peel/chip at the lightest touch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While we're thrilled to hear sculpting with Crayola Air-Dry Clay was was positive experience, your disappointment after painting your works of art is understandable. Once dry, color can be added to the clay using tempera, acrylic or watercolor paints. We're sorry your paint didn't adhere. We'll pass along this feedback to our Creative Tools Team, and would like to help you further. Please contact our Consumer Care Team at Crayola.com/support. Hope to get you back to sculpting soon! - Chris, Colorful Care Team

Unsure how to seal finished project
on February 22, 2021
Posted by: Katie M
from South Carolina
Gender:Female
I purchased for my son and I and my main concern is being able to seal our finished projects. I've heard everything from Modge Podge to varnish.
I'm actually looking for suggestions from people who have used both and what are the pros and cons of each.

Paint to use?
on March 12, 2020
Posted by: KKDW
from Michigan
Gender:Female
So far the clay is working well for my son but now he wants to paint his creations. What type of paint will work on this clay? And please provide what specifics to look for (water or oil based, etc) not just recommend the Crayola product. He wants silver which isn’t going to be an easy color to find.
I would recommend this to a friend!
