I’m looking to do a clay project with my class, I was thinking either air dry or oven bake.
The sets I see are either very small or no drying...anyone have a product t recommend?

Thanks!

What type of project?
Crayola model magic air dries and is fun to work with, and you can buy it in large class size packages.

I’m not entirely sure yet...it’s with a 5th grade boys class and doesn’t have to be related to what they are learning in class. I’m thinking of maybe having them create some type of animal, already discovered or of their own creation 😀
Does the crayola model magic stick well to itself? Meaning can they afix a head or legs to the body or will it keep falling off? Really I don’t mind using glue if needed...

There may be some trick to getting it to stick better, but it does sometimes fall apart at seams and needs re-gluing. I've had pretty good experiences, though. And the feel is really nice, it's soft and easy to work with.
