FAQs
What age is this craft kit suitable for?
This kit is recommended for children aged 6 years and up.
Do I need to bake the donuts?
No, both Silk Clay® and Foam Clay® are air-curing and do not require baking. They will dry naturally over time.
How many donuts can I make with this kit?
The kit contains enough materials to create 2 mini donuts.
Is the clay safe for children?
The product complies with applicable laws and European safety standards. However, adult supervision is recommended, especially due to the small glass beads which can be a choking hazard.
How should I store the unused clay?
Unused Silk Clay® and Foam Clay® should be stored in their original airtight packaging. Seal the packaging tightly to prevent the clay from drying out.
What are the dimensions of the finished donuts?
The product description does not specify exact dimensions, but they are designed to be 'mini' donuts for crafting and pretend play.
Can the finished donuts be washed?
The finished donuts are decorative items and are not designed to be washed. Keep them away from water to preserve their condition.
Troubleshooting
Clay is too dry or stiff.
If the clay is slightly dry, knead it well. For very dry clay, it may be difficult to revive, but adding a tiny drop of water and kneading vigorously might help slightly. Ensure unused clay is always stored in an airtight container.
Clay is sticking to surfaces.
Work on a protected surface like a craft mat or newspaper. If clay sticks, gently peel it off or use a damp cloth to clean the area.
Glass beads are difficult to apply.
Apply a small amount of Foam Clay® to the donut base first, then press the glass beads into the wet foam clay to secure them.
Child is struggling with the instructions.
Provide patient guidance and demonstrate steps as needed. Focus on the fun of creating rather than perfect results. Adult supervision is key here.

- Cleaning: If clay gets on surfaces, wipe it up immediately with a damp cloth. Dried clay may be more difficult to remove. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after crafting.
