Roll, pinch, and coil air-dry or oven-bake clay into animals, bowls, or miniature figures — a wonderfully tactile creative activity that produces finished objects children can paint and keep as treasures.

The Essentials

  • Knead the clay well before starting to remove air bubbles that can cause cracks or explosions when baked
  • Keep a small bowl of water nearby to smooth seams and soften clay that's drying out
  • Attach pieces together by scoring both surfaces and adding a little water or slip before pressing
  • Roll walls to an even, moderate thickness — too thin cracks easily, too thick may not dry or bake evenly
  • Let air-dry clay cure fully over several days, or follow the oven-bake clay's exact time and temperature to avoid burning
