    • “Creative, Convenient, and Fun: A Comprehensive Review of Crayola Air Dry Clay”
Crayola Air Dry Clay is a versatile and user-friendly option for crafting enthusiasts of all ages. It’s especially popular for children and beginners because it doesn’t require any special equipment to harden—just leave it out, and it dries naturally within 24-48 hours. This makes it a fantastic choice for those who don’t have access to a kiln or want a low-maintenance alternative to traditional clay. Texture & Workability: The texture of the clay is soft and pliable right out of the package, which makes it easy to mold and shape. It doesn’t stick too much to your hands, which is great for working on detailed projects. It’s an excellent medium for creating sculptures, ornaments, pinch pots, and other crafts. Kids will especially love how easy it is to handle and shape. Drying Process: One of the main advantages is the air-dry feature. There’s no need for baking or firing in a kiln, which eliminates the risks and difficulties associated with traditional clay. However, you do need to give it ample time to fully dry, and thicker projects may take longer. While it dries well, be aware that larger or thicker pieces might develop some minor cracks during the drying process, which can usually be smoothed out or fixed with additional clay. Durability: Once dry, Crayola Air Dry Clay has a solid but somewhat brittle finish. While it holds its shape well, it’s not as durable as kiln-fired clay. If you’re working on projects that need to withstand wear and tear, you might want to reinforce them or handle them with care. That said, it’s still great for lightweight decorative items, school projects, or pieces that will be used indoors. Customization & Painting: One of the best features of this clay is that it can be painted once dry. You can use acrylic paints, watercolors, or even markers to add color and details to your creations. The surface of the dried clay is smooth and easy to decorate, allowing for vibrant, personalized designs. You can also seal your finished pieces with a varnish or sealant to add a protective layer and enhance durability. Clean-Up & Storage: Another major advantage is the ease of clean-up. The clay washes off hands and surfaces with just water, making it ideal for parents or teachers supervising younger kids. Unused clay can be stored in an airtight container to keep it soft and ready for future projects, but be sure to seal it well, as it can dry out if exposed to air. Final Thoughts: Crayola Air Dry Clay is a fantastic product for both novice and experienced crafters. It’s easy to mold, requires no baking, and allows for endless creativity. While it may not be as durable as traditional fired clay, it’s an excellent choice for decorative projects and a fun, mess-free activity for kids. The ability to paint and customize finished pieces makes it even more versatile, offering a full range of creative possibilities! ... show more

    • Wonderful, even fun for adults.
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. ... show more

    • Such a fun and versatile arts and craft choice
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. ... show more

    • A decent clay but not too sturday
This clay is very easy to work with, but I feel like it does shrink quite a bit when drying. For durability, I wouldn't say its THAT durable, maybe even a bit fragile. I think it is pretty decently priced for what it is, but I think I would opt for a clay that isn't as fragile when dry.

    • Perfect after dinner family activity
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. ... show more

    • Good product. Beginner friendly 🫶
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 💯 ... show more

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. ... show more
