5.0 out of 5 stars Nice

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.

I bought this for the grand kids for some summer time fun!! they really enjoyed working with the clay, easy to use too!! and they had so much Fun !!! it took about 3 days to completely  dry, it really depends on size and thickness of the clay, just give it time , we used parchment  paper so the clay doesn't stick to the table  just a suggestion ..  definitely fun for the kids and i,m sure for adults as well !!

4.0 out of 5 stars 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Crafts!

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative fun for everyone!

PERECT! This is such a useful size of air dry clay, especially when you have kids who love playdough, but want to keep the creations! This is better than Play-doh, and being a solid white and natural texture is a bonus! Perfect for fun play and creation as well as easy cleanup! Even after drying it's easy to sculpt and clean!

Bought for daughter who was taking Ceramics class in school. she’s still a beginner so this was perfect for her. First thing she made was a little jewelry holder for me 😩 I loved it… she uses her clay often. 10/10

Hice estás hojas verdes y doradas la dejé secar y las pinte, se me cayeron y no se rompió las piezas, son muy fáciles de moldear y si se pone duro de trabajar con un poco de agua se ablanda fácilmente.
