Feels and Handles Like Real Clay
I tested this clay on a new tabletop pottery wheel I am planning to use for intro classes. I've been using pottery wheels and various Kiln fire clays for over 15 years. I am extremely impressed with how this clay handles when both hand building and wheel throwing.

Ruined the last memories of my dog
I purchased a 5lb bucket of clay to make a paw print for my terminally ill dog. The night before she was put to sleep, I made a clay print of my hand with her paw inside of it. I loved it! However, when the clay dried, it broke in pieces (see pics). The only print of dog's paw is destroyed and she is gone. I am so sad I could cry. I thought I could rely on Crayola but I...

Practice and have fun! Laugh! Practice some more!
I am an artist and I tried this product for a project with my nieces and nephews. This product is good, but you have to have patience. In order for it to work, you really need to have some basic knowledge for sculpting. It is great for teaching sculpting. Basic sculpting. Trial and error teaching. You have to have a structure to support the clay. Like an armature. F...

Response from Staples :
It is never easy to lose a loved one and we are sorry for your loss. Your frustration with the paw print you made using Crayola Air-Dry Clay is completely understandable. We want to do all we can to help you save this precious memento. While success may vary depending on the severity of the cracks, you can try repairing them by placing a few drops of water on the cracks and smoothing them over with your fingers or by filling in the crack with a small amount of wet clay and smooth with your fingers. If you need further assistance, please contact our Consumer Care Team at 1-800-CRAYOLA. - Chris, Colorful Care Team

Great air dry clay
Great for at home activities with the family. Comes with a resealable container and the clay does not dry very fast when working with it especially when using minimal water. When finished the clay drys much much faster in the sun (1-2 days) than the shade (albeit I live in humid Florida). Tons of fun. Bought two more containers.

Great for child care programs
Our pre-kindergartners are making bears and caves and our school age children made holiday ornaments. The kids are very creative and love painting their masterpieces when the clay has dried.

Very good product
This clay is the best air drying clay I have ever used. You have to create your project in stages and let it firm up a bit during the process but it is really nice and fairly easy to work with. I recommend giving it a try!

Excellent clay
Excellent air dry clay.I usually make my own clay but it takes lots of effort. I got this clay as the price is very promising and clay works good too. This is my first time trying store bought clay. It does cracks a little but it is easy to handle. Thank you staples for free shipping.
