ESSENSON Air Dry Clay, 42 Colors, Modeling Clay for Kids

"This modeling clay is perfect for kids! The colors are bright, soft, and easy to mold. It doesn’t dry out completely — it keeps a slightly spongy texture, which actually makes the creations feel soft and unique. My kids loved making animals and figures, and cleanup was super easy. Definitely a fun and educational activity that keeps them entertained for hours!"

This is very high-quality modeling clay. It is very soft, which makes it perfect for little hands to work with. I love that it’s odorless and the colors are very bright and vibrant. My child is happy, and we are very satisfied with this purchase!

Lightweight, easy to mold, adhesive enough to hold but not really sticky. Using 16 gauge wire helps with posing your creations. Plenty of colors to use alone or mixing to make the colors you want. We have bought 4 or 5 of these sets for our 9 year old daughter. Now we have little critters, creatures, statues, animals and figurines all over the house. She has also made $40 selling items she made with this at her aunt’s garage sale.

What I expected but it didn't stick to the paper (we made models of cells). The kids ended up having to glue their foam pieces to the paper after it dried because they all fell off. I don't know if that would be the same for all air dry clay or not. I thought it would be stickier but you might want it to not stick. I guess it matters for what you are using it for. For us it wasn't sticky enough but molded/dried like regular air dry clay. Lots of great colors.

Great fun to create projects! Good anytime of the year.

This clay is the same as any other air dry or plasticine clay- small amounts per bag, bright colors, doesn't stick to skin or other items easily, dries to the consistency of foam and if very light. This clay, however, has a whole lot of clay, for a really great price. Instead of going for the clay kits that looked super cool, I got this one and it really paid off! The kids love it and I have made a few fun things as well! When I bought this item, it was on sale (a little). The kids still have clay to use because there was so much clay in the kit. The colors are very bright and there are a lot of different colors in this kit as well. I would highly recommend this kit! I did not get paid to make this review and did not receive anything for this review. I dont do many reviews...unless I am very happy with something or very upset with a product or their customer service.

Easy enough to work with, but this clay never gets firm after drying and always stays soft and flexible. I made lots of little soft figures using this product and am sure there are similar materials that do dry hard. Good assortment of colors, but small portions.

We're purchased these several times for all the kiddos to play with during the holidays, while traveling, and for school projects. They come in a sturdy cardboard box that makes for easy storing of all the little packs of colors. Also comes with mini ziplock bags to store unused portions. Since it's not super gooey it doesn't really get into the rug fibers or leave messy residues on surfaces. These don't really have a smell; a few times some packages does smell but not overpoweringly so. Attached are photos of some of the things our 5 & 6 year old have made on their own: mini dolls, their own Minnie Mouse (no affiliation to Disney), trees, food stuff, and pokémons to name a few. Highly recommend.

I bought these for my daughter’s school project. They were the perfect amount, came with so many colours. We couldn’t have been more pleased. If you are looking for large amounts of clay, this isn’t the package you want. But for smaller projects this was perfect!

I would say that each color is about the size of a large marshmallow, but I kept it because I can still use them.

This brings out the creativity in my daughter

Not good at all to be honest all the clay was pretty hard and was in-mouldable

Super tiny packages of clay. Dry super quick it did the project.
