At least that's what my grandchildren think anyway. Given the current situation my wife and I do our bit with our six year old grandchildren and when they come over and visit we make the effort to do something a bit 'old school' and hands on. This time we decided that modelling clay would be a good occupier of time and hands and it proved to by thus. Now, when dealing with six year olds one has to accept that there may be a fair bit of commissioning involved and that certainly proved to be the case with us with the small people in our lives requesting ever more complicated works of art. Well I gave it my best shot and managed a very good snail, a passable shark and a somewhat down at heel tyrannosaurus rex. I made sure it was a joint effort with my grandchildren making up various sausages to be formed collectively into various shapes. When we finished we had a collection of perhaps less than able animals but had used up quite some time together discussing and working on these art works. That's worth quite a bit I'd say and it's nice to see that even in these computer dominated times children can still get something from basic craft materials and a bit of help and time. To use it's easy. Just open the bag, cut off what you need and once you have kneaded it a bit to make it more pliable for moulding and forming off you go. It's water soluable so when joining or smoothing a little bit applied helps it out. Once the masterpiece is made all you have to do is leave it out to air dry which, it does in a couple of days in a warm environment. As it's water soluable it's easy to wash up afterwards with no manky stuff on one's hands. I'm not quite sure that would be the case on nice soft furnishings so best make sure wherever this is used is wipe down. Overall a great craft product even if you are a serious modeller or sculptor making genuinely good art. Review: Good product, good price - Dries quickly and evenly.

Thank you.** A: I wrap the clay back up in the packet. Put it in an airtight container along with a damp sheet of kitchen roll and also a layer of cling film over the top of the container before putting the lid on to make extra airtight and then I keep it in the fridge. I've left an open half packet this way for 2 weeks and it was fine; not even dry at the edges. **Q: when modelled is it outdoor viable** A: Not unless you coat it with outdoor varnish. **Q: Would this be good for designing a model car? I'm trying to prepare for transport design at Uni and was wondering what clay to get. Thanks in advance.** A: It is unlikely. Just like object oriented computer models it is worth noting the properties and methods of the clay. However, just as plasticine has been used successfully to model crossing over in genetics so the tool is sometimes only limited by the imagination of the user. Modelling the way we think of 'car' can be helpful and as such any process-based function can help just as gestalt methodologies were used in thinking of the car from the perspective of the windscreen wiper. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings Out the Leonardo In Me *by M***M on 3 September 2020* Well if DaVinci could sculpt snails and sharks he might match my genius using this stuff which, it seems I have a talent for.

Definitely my go to product when my daughter is in creative mode! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ best air dry clay about *by D***. on 15 July 2020* Having tested other makes of air dry clay, overall this is the best. Ok to work with ( i would advise to use with water ), hardly cracks and when set it is strong. Price could be better, as i use for large projects I need a cheaper clay, which at the moment cannot find. So this is why this is best overall for now. ## Frequently Bought Together - DAS Air-Hardening Modeling Clay - Terra Cotta Clay 2.2lb Block - Pliable Air Clay for Sculpting and Coating - Easy to Use Air Dry Modeling Clay for All Ages - Molding Clay for Sculpting and More - 100ml Air Dry Clay Glaze, Air Dry Clay Varnish Can Not Only Used to Prevent Clay Cracking, Scratches, and Wear, It Can Also Having a Gloss Glaze Effect (Gloss) - Amrules Clay Tools Kit, 27 PCS Pottery Tools, Practical Polymer Clay Sculpting Tools Kit, Air Dry Clay Tools Set for Adults, Pottery Craft, Dotting, Carving, Drawing, Molding, Modeling, Shaping --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48115491-terracotta-air-hardening-1kg-modelling-clay-for-professionals-and-hobbyists](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48115491-terracotta-air-hardening-1kg-modelling-clay-for-professionals-and-hobbyists) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
