While I work almost exclusively with oven bake polymer clay the air dry stuff can be easier for the kiddos – and cheaper on the grownup wallet. Crayola Magic is a widely available children’s modeling material that is dead simple and air dries. There’s a whole list of projects here that are geared for it but would work similarly well with oven bake clays if you wanted to go that way. Crayola Magic also colours super well with regular old kid markers and plain old kid’s paint pucks. What can I say? I’m a fan of the stuff and there’s usually a few little packs here when I get kiddos that are a little small for the clay I do.
