General

Crayola Air-Dry clay is a natural clay that air-dries into a solid. It can be used to make sculptures or decorative items. When working with the clay, soften it with water for an easy molding process.

Pieces that are less than 1/4 inch thick are more fragile than thicker pieces.

It generally takes 2-3 days for a mold to fully dry, though the clay may still be carved once it is dry, and acrylic paint or watercolors may be applied.
