ESSENSON Air Dry Clay 42 Colors, Modeling Clay for Kids, DIY Molding Magic Clay for with Tools, Toys Gifts for Age 3 4 5 6 7 8+ Years Old Boys Girls Kids

I bought this for my grandkids who are homeschooled. Any independent art activities are greatly appreciated by my daughter who is an amazing mom and educator. While herding all 4 kids through her planned curriculum, it’s nice to have the kids relax and enjoy themselves in creative projects working independently and self motivated. They love this Clay! A vast array of brilliant colors, a texture that is soft and has a satisfying tactile quality. The clay air dries and the colors stay true and the surface appearance remains unchanged. This stuff is comparable to “Hey Clay” but is more budget friendly. Don’t tell anyone but the kids use the Hey Clay phone app with this clay, to create animals, monsters, etc. They will spend hours at a time working with this stuff! BTW….Someone dropped several pieces of aquamarine blue clay on my daughters living room carpet and after it dried it was easily scraped off and vacuumed up without a trace.

My grandkids like this better than playdough. It is soft to work with and it comes with so many colors. They loves the tools that come with it and the enjoy making small creatures using the dough and the included arms, legs, hats, wings, eyes, etc. Lots of creative fun at a good price.

These little containers are a step above the other air mold sets because they allow for easy storage! However, We used this set to entertain 10 kids and there was nothing left over to store. So for a party- wouldn't need to use these! I'd go with a cheaper set if we weren't using to store. But it's all Very fun- but these are small containers. Probably stick with playdough for 5 year olds- but this set is excellent for kids 6+ who would be more detailed. The texture is great- out of the container you just have to play with the clay to get it the right consistency. Great set and fun colors.

Great the cases keep the clay from drying out

I love this air dry clay. They come individually inside sealed containers which is what sold me. There’s a great variety of colors. The clay is not sticky/wet nor dried out like other brands I have tried previously. Good value for the money.

Loved all the colors and it is better than play dough due to it drying hard if you want to keep it and not like play dough

My grandkids love air-dry clay. I thought these cups were a genius solution to the storage issue after opening a plastic bag of clay. Wrong. They are not sufficiently air-tight to keep the remaining clay soft. The colors are nice and the clay is great to work with but don't get lured in by the cute little containers. We were disappointed to reopen cup after cup and find the clay was useless.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Absolutely love these! I need to reorder as we have used most of the colors since Christmas. Easy for all ages and less messy than playdohFun for kids:All ages can use this!
