  • “Creative, Convenient, and Fun: A Comprehensive Review of Crayola Air Dry Clay”
Color: White Size: 5lb
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

  • Easy to use and dries beautifully.
Color: White Size: 5lb
I bought the Crayola Air-Dry Clay to make Christmas ornaments with my son, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! The clay is soft, easy to work with, and dries beautifully without cracking, just make sure you make the ornaments thick enough, about an 1/2'' or more. It took 2-3 days to completely dry, which was the only down side. Once the ornaments dried, we decorated them with paint and permanent marker, and they turned out so cute! The clay holds detail well, so even little handprints and textures show up nicely. This clay is affordable, versatile, and great for kids and parents alike. Highly recommend for holiday crafts, keepsakes, or just a fun family project. We’ll definitely be buying more! ... show more

  • This clay is great for Projects
Color: White Size: 25lb Value Pack
For a senior year high school project last year, I made the colosseum almost entirely out of this clay. My time limit was around 2 months, and I put almost 80 hours into this project. It ended up sitting on a 16-inch long base and weighed in at 6.8 pounds when completely dry. I used approximately 2 of the 5 pound containers. I don't think this clay is perfect, but I think of all of the options out there, this has to be the best option when making large projects and not having the option of kiln firing. Cracking is to be expected. When adding water to the clay or simply using it straight out of the package the moisture takes up a lot of space and naturally, it is going to shrink when dry. I ended up using cracks to determine where the weak points were. When filling in cracks ALWAYS overfill the crack, the clay that you put in is going to shrink, and it's easier to shave down bumps than continuing to fill in cracks that don't seem to go away. I found that carving this clay was easier than molding it. I included a picture of the details on the interior, they were for the most part entirely made by carving clay out of each row. This clay is really hard to make small shapes and strings with, so if your project is small or has tons of tiny details I would suggest picking up modeling clay instead, although making small details IS still possible, just more time-consuming. Joining pieces of clay together can be a challenge, I found that adding lots of water and smoothing down the sides of the piece you want to join to the project. Trying to join pieces in the "traditional" way (making a few lines in either piece, adding water, and pressing together) does not work with this clay, it's very stubborn. I had a big issue when starting this project as to where I was going to put it. I decided on a cardboard base, but I couldn't get the clay to stick very well. I found that gluing paper down to the cardboard and adding a thin layer of water to the top got the clay to stick. after the first layer, I had to deal with shrinking and added a second piece of cardboard to the bottom, since it bent the first one. Another trick I found was mixing acrylic paint directly into the clay can change the color and you can mix other materials into the clay- I used both of these on the sandy floor of the colosseum, beige paint and actual sand were mixed in and the clay worked just as it normally would. I seriously enjoyed working with this material, you get a ton for the price, and it works really well. This project was the first time I had ever made something large and to scale with clay, and while it does come with a learning curve, I really enjoy recreating places with it. Currently, I am working on a model of Mont St Michele, and after I will be working on making the Statue of Liberty ... show more

  • Fun!
Color: White Size: 5lb
I bought this to make my own vases and magnets. For a beginner, this is great! I like that you can paint over it once it dries, so you can make your art any color! The quality is good, it is easy to use and maintain. It does crack a little on some projects, but it depends. It gets super sticky when you wet it, and can be pretty messy. It is a soft texture though, it is fun to use! ... show more
