    • Excellent quality.
Review Image by Jessi Jessi
This is the heavyweight champ of crafts. Five pounds is a LOT of clay — enough for my kids, their friends, and a couple of failed Pinterest projects. It’s soft, easy to mold, and doesn’t crumble like some cheaper clays. Air dries nicely without cracks if you don’t rush it. For the price, it’s basically hours of entertainment therapy — cheaper than a babysitter and just as quieting. This was white only. It was bright white. Dried and easily painted. See picture of my daughter’s lack of artistic ability, but super effective clay. ... 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

    • Great for beginners
Great and affordable starter clay. I heard mixed reviews about crayola air dry clay but from my experience so far everything is fine, Easy to use, easy to work with. The texture of the clay is very moist and soft, easy to work with. Stickiness seems to be normal to me, just like any other clay.

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

    • Great for Crafts, Just Watch Drying Time
Soft and easy to mold, perfect for kids’ projects and painting once dry. Does take a while to fully dry and can crack if too thick, but overall a fun and affordable clay.

    • Great beginner clay!
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.

    • It shrinks and cracks some as it dries, you can fill again
Review Image by Pa resident Pa resident
This is nice to have to use for air dry projects, but it cracks as it shrinks a little in drying. You have to use water to keep moist as you work and blend in other pieces. Once dried you can patch cracks but it may flake over time. It stores well in the original container sealed up correctly. It's paintable and you can work in fine details to your sculpture. It's not too sticky unless adding water to work it longer. I've had mine for two years and am still able to use it. I was able to use it to fix a broken ceramic table base as seen in the photos. Worked well ... show more

    • Good for beginniners, terrible for smooth detail. CRACKING!!
This was, quite frankly, NOT a good time. I used this clay a lot when I was little, and never managed to finish my container of it. It was SO much fun, using it—I have vivid memories of it from YEARS ago, and I still have the various objects and figures that I'd made with it—very few of which are cracked. In fact, the only ones that cracked were ones that were WAYYY too fragile, in the first place—and which broke due to my own mishandling. I would absolutely recommend this clay for younger sculptors, or those who aren't really picky about detail or smoothness. It's very soft, and easy to mould—but it gets INCREDIBLY sticky if you use too much water, or if you're just handling it too much. If you're trying to create miniature objects, let me warn you in advance—if the blob of clay that you are using is too small, it will start to CRUMBLE. I was super excited to use this clay, and finish up a project I'd been working on all week. I'm an adult doll collector + customizer, and I've been using clay to sculpt new facial features and body types for my dolls. Thankfully, I didn't use any of this for my dolls—as I now realize that it would have ended in disaster—but I used quite a bit of it to try to finish up a miniature daybed (roughly 12 inches long and eight inches wide) that I've been working on. I was using a bunch of tiny blobs of clay to add an artsy, wobbly edge to the wood + cardboard + hot glue frame, and smoothing the blobs out with water. I'd read that this clay will crack if you use too much water—and so I used it incredibly sparingly. I dabbed my fingers in a mug of water, and then smoothed the clay out; I used virtually no water with the clay. There was one spot where there was a crack in my wooden frame, and so I had to use a little extra water—and I anticipated that spot to crack due to structural reasons alone. I left my clay to dry for nearly twenty-four hours, and, when I returned, everything had cracked. The border around the edges of the bed had numerous deep cracks running through the length of what I'd sculpted. A few part of the border broke off entirely. Where I'd noted the aforementioned structural crack, and where I'd patched it with clay, the entire thing was RUINED, spider-webbed with cracks. In other structurally important areas (inner corners and around the base of the wooden posts at each corner), there were cracks along the seams. I wondered if I'd used too much water, shrugged it off, and patched the cracked areas with extra clay. I tried not to use water, but, for the aesthetics of my build (and for the ease of painting), I dabbed a my fingers into my mug a few times here and there. Again—I used DROPLETS of water, at most. I left it alone for a few hours—and, when I checked in on it again, it had already begun to crack again. This clay is incredibly unforgivable. It gets sticky easily, and it cracks at a whim. It doesn't smooth out well for detail work, and it refuses to work with water—which, I'd argue, is a sculptor's #1 basic tool. It's cheap, and it works well for kids—but for the basic sculpting needs that I have, it doesn't work at all. I will be returning it. ... show more
