Air Drying Clay Kids 102 Colors, Modeling Magic Clay Kit with Sculpting Tools,Soft and Non-Sticky,Classroom Activities & Art and Crafts Creative Play Gifts for Boys & Girls Age 3-12

This air dry clay has been an absolute game-changer for our household! My 8-year-old discovered it about six months ago and has been completely obsessed ever since - and honestly, I can see why. As a parent, I was initially skeptical about yet another craft supply, but this clay has proven to be one of the best investments we’ve made for creative play.The quality is genuinely impressive. Unlike cheaper clays that crack or crumble, this stuff holds together beautifully and dries to a surprisingly durable finish. My daughter has made everything from tiny figurines to decorative bowls, and even after months of play, her earlier creations are still intact on her shelf. The texture is smooth and pliable without being sticky or messy - a huge win for keeping it contained to her craft area rather than ending up ground into our carpet!The color variety is fantastic and really sparks creativity. The vibrant blues, pinks, and purples are her favorites, but having the full spectrum means she can make realistic animals, fantasy creatures, or abstract art pieces. The colors don’t fade as they dry, which was a pleasant surprise since some craft clays we’ve tried before ended up looking washed out.What really melts my heart is how proud she is of her creations. She’s turned into our family’s little gift-maker, crafting personalized figurines for grandparents, teachers, and friends. Her art teacher even commented on the quality of the clay compared to what they use at school. For parents wondering about the mess factor - it’s surprisingly clean. A damp cloth handles any residue, and it doesn’t stain clothes or surfaces like I feared it might.If you’re on the fence about getting this for your child, I’d say go for it. It’s kept my daughter engaged for hours at a time, improved her fine motor skills, and given her such a sense of accomplishment. Just be prepared to become the parent of a very enthusiastic young sculptor!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As a parent, finding activities that truly engage and excite a child's mind can be a quest (out side of the digital babysitting roles of the VR headsets, Smartphones, Gaming Consoles, etc. This ARTPAR Air Dry Clay kit, with its incredible 90 colors, has been an absolute win in our household. My "baby" girl, who's not so much a baby anymore but still thrives on visual and physical stimulation, absolutely adores it. It's fantastic to see her excited brain so engrossed in creating! The sheer variety of colors right out of the box is a huge plus, offering endless possibilities for imaginative play without needing to mix and match colors constantly.What's particularly great about this clay is how well it dries. We've just left her creations out at room temperature, and they've solidified beautifully without any special heating. Once dry, the clay feels quite solid, and I've been impressed by the minimal cracking. Any minor cracks we've seen seem more related to how enthusiastically my daughter assembles her masterpieces rather than an issue with the clay itself. It’s also soft and non-sticky right out of the package, which means less mess for me and more fun for her. Given how much she's already hinted at wanting "more colors" for her next creations, it looks like this clay will be a long-term favorite in our home. When the kids are happy, and the clean-up is manageable, it's a definite win-win!A good quote from a movie (The Break-Up) regarding the desire for lemons and applying it to my child wanting modeling clay “…Yeah, I wanted 12, Baby wanted 12”. Well baby got 12 lemons! 😊

My son LOVED this air dry clay! The small packages of all different colors were perfect! The instruction booklet gave enough inspiration for my son to create more creatures. This kept him busy for 2 days!! My son and I had so much fun together. He made the creatures and I made the eyes. There were only 2 packages that weren’t used. lol!! We will be buying this again! It also came with 4 different tools to use. It also came with small, resealable baggies.

Clay is easy to work with. Each color comes sealed and individually wrapped so it doesn’t dry out. The box it comes in works great for storage. Clay dries to a soft consistency that continues to hold its shape. Perfect for arts and crafts time to bring out creativity in kids and adults alike!

A few came dried up, but my daughter and her classmates love this stuff. I keep having to buy more

This is such a fun product for kids and adults alike. Great quality and super soft for easy use. This pack comes with a wide variety of colors. Will order again.

Great price, great selection. Dries a little squishy and might crack but that seems to be the nature of these products no matter what brand I try

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Wow, what a great variety! These are so fun and easy to use. They dry overnight keeping the shape.
