Crayola 2.5lb Air Dry Clay White: Self-Hardening Non-Toxic Modeling Clay for Kids, Creative Thinking, Ages 4+

A: Can this be used on a pottery wheel?

A: No, no it does not require and oven.

A: Nope! You just leave it out to dry over night and you’re good to go!

A: That is correct! Air Dry Clay should never be placed in an oven or kiln. Most pieces will be safe to handle carefully within a day, but should be allowed to dry at least 24-48 hours before painting or sealing. Actual time to completely dry may take several weeks, and the clay becomes stronger with time. Hope this helps!

A: I actually just looked at a paw print I made about 6 years ago. It is still an entire piece, but there are cracks all over the top. I'm currently looking into a sealant I can use to keep it from getting any worse.

A: Thanks for your question! Crayola Air-Dry Clay is a natural earth clay which air-dries to a hard solid. Shrinkage should be minimal during the drying process, so using this clay for a paw-print project should work out great. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-Crayola. Best wishes for a colorful future!

A: Awesome question, Clark! Thoroughly dry pieces may be painted with tempera, acrylic or watercolor. Hope this helps!

A: honestly any type of paint. i prefer acrylic paint , not crayola. but obviously it’s your preference. i just think acrylic paint works best!

A: Great question! Crayola Air Dry Clay and dough modeling compounds do share some similarities, but they have distinct textures and purposes. Dough products are typically soft, squishy, and very pliable—staying moist and designed for repeated play, making it easy for small hands to mold and reshape. Crayola Air Dry Clay, is slightly firmer and denser than dough modeling materials. While it’s still soft and easy to mold, it’s intended for sculpting and dries into a hardened form once exposed to air, unlike dough products, which remains soft if stored properly. If you have any further questions regarding Crayola Air-Dry Clay, please contact us at 1-800-CRAYOLA. Hope this makes your decision as to which product will be the best fit for your sculpting easier.

A: Thanks for asking this colorful question! It's best to use art supplies labeled as "food grade" for anything that will touch food. Since Crayola products aren't food grade, we recommend not using them to hold unpackaged food. However, feel free to sculpt food for an awesome display!

A: Thanks for asking! We have not tested using our Air-Dry Clay in slime, so we are unsure of its results. We would suggest checking out recipes using Model Magic for an awesome butter slime, though!

A: Thanks for your colorful question! Crayola Air-Dry Clay gradually hardens into a durable solid over time, gaining strength, while Crayola Model Magic is an air-drying modeling compound, Crayola Model Magic remains lightweight and retains some flexibility even after drying. Happy creating!

A: Denny's ready to make some snowmen! The White Air-Dry Clay will dry to a more off-white color. Don't forget you can paint your completely dried masterpiece to make some fun, personalized details on your snowmen! Happy creating!

A: Hey there! We have not tested our Air-Dry Clay to be used specifically on this type of product, so we cannot guarantee its results. We would suggest testing a small piece or contacting the manufacturer of the pottery wheel. Hope this helps!
