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

    • Created two lamp shades that actually look like I spent thousands!

Okay! I did not imagine of all the brands/kinds of clay I could use, that Crayola was going to be my best bet. I had an idea to make lamp shades to hang over my bedside tables. I used two different brands first which failed miserably. I'm blown away by the quality of crayola air dry clay. It was SO easy to use. Simply rolled out, shaped over a large bowl and let dry for two days. THAT easy. There was no weird smell and I was able to get two shades out of one container for 1/4 of the price of other clays that were much harder to manipulate and shape. It's been 6 months and there hasn't been a crack or signs of wear at all. I scored BIG with this! ... show more

    • Great for Crafts!
Color: White Size: 5lb
I use this product yearly with my middle school students when they create fantasy creatures. This clay is malleable and does not air dry too quickly. I love that this comes in a large bucket, so the sizing of clay needed can be adjusted for any product. I have gotten the pre-wrapped clay in the past, and students often need 2 to 3 of those to build something in the medium range. This is a reasonably priced and solid product. ... show more

    • Perfect for sculpting!

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! ... show more

    • Great for beginners
Color: White Size: 5lb
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.

It's a good clay for smaller projects with less detailing (especially for children's assignments) but it tends to not hold its weight well on larger pieces and cracks easily the bigger it gets. Overall an alright clay if kept under the right conditions (constant hydration and proper storing). It's actually great for the price. ... show more

    • Good for beginniners, terrible for smooth detail. CRACKING!!
Color: White Size: 5lb
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
