What Are the Differences Between Crayola's: Air-Dry Clay, Model Magic, Sculpting Clay and Modeling Clay?

Crayola® Air-Dry Clay  

  • This clay gradually hardens into a durable solid over time, gaining strength. Explore various crafts using Crayola Air-Dry Clay at Crayola.com.  

Crayola Model Magic®

  • An air-drying modeling compound, Crayola Model Magic remains lightweight and retains some flexibility even after drying. Discover fun crafts with Crayola Model Magic at Crayola.com

Crayola No-Bake Sculpting Clay

  • No Bake Sculpting Clay dries fully within 72 hours, is silky smooth and blendable, retains high detail, adheres to various surfaces and can be used in multiple ways (rolling, stamping, etc.)
Crayola Modeling Clay

  • Unlike Air-Dry Clay and Model Magic, this is a non-drying modeling compound, allowing for sculpting, squishing, and reuse for endless creative enjoyment.
