FAQs
What materials are included in the Creativ Craft Kit?
The kit includes Foam Clay®, polystyrene eggs, wiggly eyes, plastic chicken beaks, plastic chicken feet, eye pins, and string.
What is the recommended age for this craft kit?
The recommended minimum age is 3 years. It is suitable for both children and adults.
How long does the Foam Clay® take to dry?
Foam Clay® is air-drying. It typically takes 24-72 hours to dry completely, depending on the thickness of the application.
Can I use the Foam Clay® on surfaces other than the included eggs?
Yes, Foam Clay® can be used on various porous surfaces. However, it is designed to work well with the polystyrene eggs provided in the kit.
Where can I find additional tutorials or ideas?
You can find additional online tutorials and ideas by scanning the QR code located on the product packaging.
Are the finished figures washable?
The finished Foam Clay® figures are not designed to be washed. They are for decorative purposes.
How should I store unused Foam Clay®?
To keep unused Foam Clay® fresh, store it in an airtight container or resealable bag to prevent it from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Foam Clay® is too dry or crumbly.
Try adding a tiny amount of water (a drop at a time) and kneading it in thoroughly. Alternatively, if stored improperly, it may be beyond repair.
Foam Clay® is not hardening.
Ensure the clay is applied thinly and is exposed to air. Thick layers may take longer to dry. Verify that the clay used is indeed self-hardening and not an air-dry type that requires baking (though this kit uses self-hardening).
Accessories are difficult to attach.
Gently press accessories into the still-soft Foam Clay®. For a more secure hold, you can let the clay firm up slightly before attaching, or use a small dab of craft glue if needed.
The finished figures are fragile.
Handle the dried figures with care. For added durability, a clear sealant spray can be applied once fully dry, though this is not included in the kit.
