FAQs
What age is this kit recommended for?
This kit is recommended for children aged 6 years and above.
Is the clay safe for children?
Yes, the Silk Clay® and Foam Clay® are safe, natural, and non-toxic materials designed for children's crafting.
How long does the clay take to dry?
The clays are self-curing and will harden over a few hours, with full drying taking 24 hours or more, depending on the thickness of the applied clay.
Can I reuse the clay after it has dried?
No, once the clay has dried, it cannot be re-moistened or reshaped. It becomes a permanent model.
What if my child eats the clay?
While the materials are non-toxic, ingesting clay is not recommended. If a significant amount is consumed, consult a healthcare professional.
Does the kit come with everything needed?
Yes, the kit includes Silk Clay®, Foam Clay®, a polystyrene ball, eyes, and modelling tools, along with step-by-step instructions.
Can the clay be painted once dry?
The clays themselves are brightly colored and designed to be used as is. Painting over them is not typically recommended as it may affect the texture and finish.
Troubleshooting
Clay feels too hard or dry
This can happen if the clay was exposed to air. Ensure all unused clay is stored in airtight packaging. If already dry, it cannot be rehydrated.
Clay is sticking to hands or surfaces
While the clays are designed to be non-messy, very light tackiness can occur. Wash hands with soap and water. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. Ensure hands are dry before handling the clay.
Difficulty attaching clay pieces
Lightly dampen the surface where you want to attach a new piece of clay with a tiny amount of water. Alternatively, use a small amount of Silk Clay® as an adhesive between Foam Clay® pieces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Open the packaging and lay out all the components. Ensure a clean, flat surface for crafting. Read through the step-by-step instructions before beginning.
Compatibility: This kit is designed for children and is not intended for use with other modelling materials that may have different drying or chemical properties. It is best used as a self-contained project.
Care: Store unopened clay in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal any unused portions of Silk Clay® and Foam Clay® tightly to prevent them from drying out. If clay accidentally dries out, it cannot be revived. Clean hands and surfaces with water and mild soap after use. Finished models should be kept away from direct moisture and extreme temperatures.
