Model Magic (30 Pack), Air Dry Modeling Material, Teacher Classroom Must Haves, School Supplies for Kids, Soft Clay Alternative, 15 Colors, 1 oz Packs

Crayola Model Magic is soft, clean, and easy for kids to shape. It dries light and firm without baking, perfect for art projects. The individual packs keep things neat and mess-free. Excellent value for schools or group activities!

My 7 1/2 year old daughter has been playing with model magic since she was 3. I think I have bought between 25-30lbs of it over the years. It is usually cheapest to buy from the craft store in 2lb buckets with a 50% off coupon, however, when I purchased this classpack it was on sale and ended up cheaper. The multi-color classpack is the way to go if you can get a deal on it. It doesn't dry out as fast as the 2lb bucket because you are only opening small amounts at the time. Also, it is perfect for parties or playdates, since it is already divided up into small quantities. It is also great for travel or bringing to a restaurant to keep kids entertained - just throw a few packs in your bag. My daughter will play with this for hours. We actually threw out all of our play-doh and only buy model magic because it does not make a mess, doesn't crumble, and dries nicer. Model magic works well with most play-doh playsets, with one exception - it does not work with any type of extruding tool. It gets stuck every time we have tried to extrude it. I attached a few pictures of our recent creations. You can easily stick gems, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, sequins, and feathers into your model magic creations. Also, with this primary color pack, you can make any color you want. Here are some tips: If you can't get something to stick to model magic, like googly eyes, wait until it dries then glue it on. If you are making a large animal or figure, like a snowman, use foil for the main structure. Then cover the foil with the model magic. You will save model magic and it will dry faster. To dry model magic, place on a paper plate. Every day or so, turn the model magic creation over, so each side gets a chance to dry. It dries very lightweight. If you plan to make handprints or footprints, you will need to press the hand or foot into the clay very firmly to get a well defined print. We have used it for prints, but it does require patience. Finally, once dry, never place directly on any surface to display without something under it. Sometimes, humidity will make it stick to the surface leaving a hard to remove residue behind. We usually put a piece of paper under the dried object when displaying.

I would give this a thousand stars if I could. I am an elementary STEAM teacher and I incorporate projects using model magic as often as I can. There is zero mess, the individual packets make portioning so easy, you can change the color by using markers you already have on hand, it’s clean enough to use for kindergarteners but still super fun for my older students, it dries well (although I like to use a clay sealant for a nicer finish), and overall just the best. I have probably purchased this product ten times by now and will continue to purchase moving forward!

Fun, soft, fluffy and easy clean up. Fast delivery.

We love this stuff!!! So much better than regular play dough when it comes to little kids. So much less mess and doesn’t stick and melt into fabric and carpet! Same great pliable textures, easy for kids to manipulate and mix colors, air dries lightweight so kids can keep their creations. Highly recommend this for kids (with supervision as needed) age 1 and up.

My daughter attended a 3D sculpture class, and the instructor taught it using Model Magic. I liked it so much I bought my kiddo some for home. Clay quality is great, it's durable, and so far I don't notice any staining when using it, which is a huge plus!

This is the best air dry clay I've tried so far. I've tried a few of the other knock off brand ones and can't help but feel I gave my kid cancer. This clay is soft and far easier to form. It also keeps its form better and doesn't seem to crack or break as much when drying. By comparison, the knock offs seem more foamy, have a chemical odor, crack more, don't bind together as well, and break more easily. My only problem with Crayola is the price. I'm sure there's a comparable knock off at a much cheaper price, it's just a matter of finding it.

This was a great value to having to buy these individually or the big packs. Also, the color variety is great in these. It was hard to find a better deal elsewhere even with coupons.

NUNCA ME LLEGO

Absolutely awesome. Better than the big package because air dries within minutes, must be fast during handling. mix with paint to colour the clay! use eye screws for keychains

Item as described and arrived when due

Muy buena calidad

This clay was perfect for my adolescents’ clay modeling class. Easy to instruct and for the kids to use, and the results were great!
