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.

My kiddos love using this! It’s soft enough (unlike some clay) to where little hands can easily sculpt it. They like the white because they can color it with markers and change its color to whatever they want. So fun and keeps them entertained for a long time!

Bought this for my siblings as a part of a christmas gift, and they are so happy!So far all the packages that have been opened have all been nice and soft. Great to make slime with because it adds a nice texture and the color is very vibrant!Cheaper when you buy this vs a couple of the 4oz packages. And I definitely prefer these because you don’t use a whole lot of clay for one batch, and if you had the larger packages you wouldn’t use the whole thing and have to put it away. Just easier to use these 1oz packages!

Crayols Model Magic is a delight to use, very maleable for the children of amny ages, and when dry can accept being painted by acryllics for older children and watercolors for younger children!Dries very well in a couple of days, you do want to give it time to dry as it is then stronger and ready for the next step, whether being painted or hot gueld into another medium. The packages the clay comes in keep the clay fresh for a long time and the size is just right for individaul child usage in school, camps or for a gathering at home!

The quality of the cat is excellent. The only gripe I have is that they all come in small packages. Might be a good idea for Halloween instead of candy.

Loved the ease of individuality wrapped packages. I used for a vacation Bible school craft. It was nice not having to worry about it drying out. We just unwrapped right before crafting.We used with children as young as 4 and it was easy to work with. I even liked playing with it as a stress reliever.

Bought this so my parents could bring one to my kids at each visit. The kids love it and have something fun to do with their grandparents. They get to be creative and when it's all dry, they can decorate their creations. Great price! Would definitely buy again when it's on sale!
