To get the best out of your air dry clay here are some little hints and tips
- Rub, roll, press, squish and pull the clay as this warms it up and makes it extra soft. Sometimes it can be a little sticky in the pot but taking it out of its pot and giving it a good squish before you start really helps!
- Put any clay you aren’t using back in its pot with the lid on to stop it drying
- The accessories stick best when the clay is fresh but if needed ask an adult to help you use a little glue
- If the clay is a little dry and cracking add a drop of water (just a drop!) and then rub, roll and squish the clay to make it extra soft again.
- Use markers or paints to decorate your creations once they are dry
- The clay sticks to plastic, cardboard, wood and other materials so let your creativity run wild!
- For bigger creations that need height stack empty clay pots on top of each other and then wrap clay around them.
