How long does it take to dry?

Depends how thickly sculpted. I have done large pieaces with thin thickness and let dry overnight then painted the next day, paint rehydrates the clay a little and so has to be handled carefully while painting. However I have a big pieace I have painted and varnished and it stays under eves of roof outside and withstands very harsh winters. I love this product for how fast a finished product can be completed. I have tried a ton of different clays, air, oven, and I have a kiln and do ceramics but this is my favorite it is so easy to use.

My daughter does a lot with polymer clay. What is the difference between the two products (aside from the air-dry vs. baking)?

Polymer clay, as the name suggests, is a synthetic material, composed of a polymer binder and other ingredients. It must be baked at 275 to 300 degrees F for about 20 minutes in order to be cured and, even then, it is still usually flexible, not perfectly hard. It is also not weatherproof (capable of outdoor display) unless sealed. As for Creative Paper Clay, it is a paper product, basically. It has some of the properties of modeling clay, but contains neither clay nor a polymer binder.

Is this similar to papermache?

Yes it is very similar, it is very soft and easy to work. If you are using paperclay for the first time

Is it waterproof once its dry? What if I want to make floral jewellery with it instead of polymer clay, will they be durable?

As long as it doesnt get wet or smashed very hard. It wont be as durable as the clay. Not as hard of a material. What you finish it with would help the durability.
