Product Information
Full details
Crayola Model Magic is an ideal modelling compound for children aged three and up, offering a mess-free, lightweight experience for creative art projects. Its primary benefit is its soft, pliable texture that simplifies sculpting while eliminating the common issues of staining or crumbling associated with traditional clay. While it is incredibly easy to use, users should be aware that it is a self-hardening material that dries within 24 hours, meaning projects cannot be stored or reshaped once the curing process is complete.

FAQs
Does Crayola Model Magic stain clothes?
No, one of the primary benefits of this material is that it is formulated to be non-staining and clean to use.
Can I bake Model Magic to make it dry faster?
No, Model Magic is designed to air-dry. It should not be placed in an oven or microwave.
How long does it take for a project to dry completely?
The material generally dries to the touch and reaches a firm state within 24 hours, depending on the thickness of the sculpture.
Can I paint my creation after it dries?
Yes, once dry, the surface can be decorated with acrylic paints, watercolours, markers, and glitter glue.
Is this product safe for toddlers?
It is recommended for ages 3 and up due to its non-toxic formulation.
What should I do if the tub lid isn't sealing properly?
If the original tub is damaged, store any remaining compound in a high-quality airtight plastic bag or a different sealed container.
Troubleshooting
The compound feels too firm or dry straight from the tub.
Add a tiny drop of water and knead it into the compound thoroughly until the desired softness returns.
Pieces are not sticking together during construction.
Ensure that the surfaces are still moist; if they have started to skin over, apply a small amount of water to the contact points to act as an adhesive.
The material is drying out while I am working on it.
Keep unused portions sealed in the provided tub or cover with plastic wrap while you focus on specific sections of your project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly or special preparation is required to begin using Model Magic; simply remove the desired amount from the tub and begin sculpting. The material is compatible with a wide array of art supplies, including water-based paints and standard school glue for adhering non-clay decorations. To care for the product, ensure the lid of the storage tub is pressed on tightly after each use to prevent ambient air from hardening the remaining supply. If you are working on a project that requires a long session, keep the unused portions covered with a damp paper towel or inside the tub to maintain the desired pliability.
