Crayola Air Dry Clay, White, 5Lb Bucket, No Bake Clay for Kids, Gift

I bought this to use at home with the kids. My 5 & 6 year olds found this clay easy to use and I was happy with how easy it was to clean up. No messy mixing required... the clay is ready to use right out of the tub. It air dries nicely and acrylic paint stayed on the finished product well. I purchased the 5lb bucket, which will last is for several projects. Pictured here, as you can clearly see, are 2 easter bunnies (one large, one small) , 2 carrots, and a carrot cake.

My kids love this stuff. This is our second bucket because the first was ruined when one of them left the lid off over night (thankfully they had used most of it by that time). It is messy and can be a little tough to pull out clay as you get down into it more, but it provides endless creativity for them. They love to make little figures and paint them the next day. It is worth the mess to see them have such fun.

I bought this for a cub scout activity. We had 8 boys and they all had enough to complete their task. Not only that but there was plenty left over. The curing process is not long and it’s easy. Like any molding clay, it is fragile once it’s cured. This was a good price for a good product. Would def. buy again.

I haven’t used this clay before but I bought because I was going to make some Christmas ornaments with my preschooler to give as gifts. It’s easy to work with, rolls out and shapes easily and the price is great. The problem I found and maybe this is the case with air dry clay in general is that the finished pieces are extremely fragile and crumble apart very easily. It says it can be painted after its fully dry but even after drying some pieces for a week they became crumbly when trying to paint. Might try a different kind of clay for crafts that I hope to save in the future.

This is my 2nd tub of this clay and probably not my last. It says it's for kids but i haven't been one of those in a very long time, maybe i should return it. HA! No way. I paint and am always looking for the perfect mixing palette or dishes and cups etc for painting with watercolors and making my own paint. Ceramics seemed the way to go but not doable so it had to be clay and I'm a cheap blank so i bought this clay... the first time. The 2nd one i bought because it works SO well for me. It softens eaily in your hands with just a little kneading. It rolls out and pats out nicely. It's just easy to work with. It dries pretty fast but do be sure to let it cure like the directions say. Because the things i make will be getting quite wet after it dries i just use a spray sealant and follow that with a few coats of dishwasher safe Mod Podge and so far so good. Now i can make all the palettes i want and in whatever shape i want. Very happy indeed.

I bought this for making a volcano model with my kids - worked brilliant for that purpose. Have since also used it for making cuneiform samples, topographical maps, sculpting, etc. It's a terrific product to have on hand for any sort of home-school project. It air dries quite quickly, so if you're not keeping the project, you'll want to get the clay back in the tub sooner rather than later. It has an odd smell (of clay), but isn't off-putting. We've painted finished projects, and that's worked well, too.

This is ready to use right out of the container. My five-year-old Granddaughter loved working with it. We made a house together, and we had a blast doing it too! If you are looking for a way to spend some quality time with a family member, this may do the job. It is easy to use. Fun to work with. Dries without a kiln or even an oven. Just let it sit out and air dry. Now, my Granddaughter wants her own clay, and has asked for some for Christmas.

I have a love/hate relationship with this clay.Pros: I love how it shapes around things. I also love how you can get it wet and score pieces and those pieces will adhere and dry together as if one solid piece. It dries overnight... much faster than some other brands. You get a lot for the price.Cons: It is pretty hard even with a lot of kneading. It does shrink which causes it to crack unless used as a thick solid piece. (I used wood putty to fill in cracks before painting the things I made and it worked well). It is kind of grey-ish so I kept that in mind when trying for certain colors... often taking several coats. This did make it almost impossible to mix paint with it to color it before shaping the clay.Overall, I guess it depends on what it is being used for and how flexible the user can be when working with it.
