Warning I love clay already!
This little bucket of goodness arrived at my house and I admit I was excited. My 5year old granddaughter was confused about what it actually was. She thought is was regular dough that you play with and then I explained she could make a masterpiece for her Mommy or Daddy for Valentines Day and paint it and she was stoked- maybe too stoked. We started with rolling snakes and balls for using for flat bottom jars. Easy Peasy . We played with this clay for about 2 hours and then left the creations to dry. Things to understand: this clay discolors your hands and probably clothing but washes off with warm water and soap- I do all of our craft at a big glass table and put wax paper under the clay so we could move the art to dry with little damage- we also have aprons just for art projects. I would highly recommend these precautions with your little artist too. Just be aware, this clay takes serial days to dry and can be painted after and then dried again for several days for a beautiful lasting project. This is a Win Win for Mimi ! I will buy again and again.

Big Mess!
They had a great idea when they came up with this, but the execution is a big fail. This is marketed for kids but it is super messy. It leaves the orange clay color on everything it touches and stains clothes. Once the clay dries it falls apart. My kids were happy with their creations and excited to paint them once the dried. But once dry the fell apart and everything was trash. I wouldn't buy again anyway because of the horrible orange mess, but falling apart makes it completely worthless.

    Fantastic clay for kids
    We received this clay and my 1st reaction was the color. I was worried about it staining. It turned the countertop a burnt orange color, my child's hands turned orange and she got some on her shirt. However to my surprise all came clean. She washed her hands once, the counter wiped down once and washed her shirt with no stain remover and it came right out. Now for the clay, it is soft enough to work with easily and shapes nicely. The directions state it air drys and hardens in 2 to 3 days. However it was nice and dry and hardened in 24 hours. It paints nicely as well. I am very impressed with this no fuss clay and would definitely reccomend.

    Perfect for our Spring Crafts!
    We love the regular Crayola Air Dry Clay so I was so excited, and a little apprehensive, to try the Terra-cotta Air Dry Clay! (Because we love the original so much we were afraid this wouldn't be as good...but it was!) My kids dove in and immediately made flour pots and wind chimes! It dries nicely and looks great! We highly recommend!

    Super fun
    My kids and I love to make crafts. Clay is one of our favorite mediums. This terra-cotta clay does transfer pigment. I would suggest laying something down if you are working in a space that stains easily. The stains haven't stayed after. I just prefer easy clean up. We put down cardboard and I let them create to their hearts content. The clay itself is very moldable and easy to work. I love that it can be left to air dry. This container comes with a pretty generous amount of clay. Enough for several small projects. If you don't use gloves be prepared to scrub a little. It's not a deal breaker. Otherwise, I say dig in and have lots of fun being creative.

    It's definitely red clay.
    I have kids who like to create (who doesn't?!). We have a lot of different kinds of clay in the house, several brands and colors. We wanted to try this tub, as it's a good deal and you get a big bucket of it. A few things to note: Add water to the clay you're using. It needs the moisture, otherwise it's a little too dry out of the bucket, and will immediately crack upon use. We forgot to do this the first time and our "cupcake" one of my kids made cracked everywhere and even uncoiled itself while drying? I'm not sure why that happened, we haven't had that happen before! I'm guessing it needed more moisture during coiling. Also, this is a red based clay... and it stains. Everything. Hands, clothes, even my table. I'm still working on getting the red spots off. Next time we will cover the table with wax paper or something! But honestly, for the price, you can't beat it. It dries pretty fast, hard, although a bit brittle. You can paint it after, too. I wouldn't suggest it for small detail work, but more for thicker larger pieces. Kids will have fun with it either way!

    Great clay!
    We selected this clay for art class. The clay was easy to use, and it was fun for the kids to put waaaater on it to attach pieces. They were able to make a pot and a bowl with two handles, and still have a lot left.We will be using this clay again and definitely recommend it!

    So much fun!
    This terracotta clay is very fun and exciting for any family. My children love it and I love keeping their creations. It comes with 2.5 lb which is a ton to work with. It did stain their hands and I am one of those mothers who gets frustrated with a mess, I don't like that part very much, but it's only one day and one mess and the memories are so much more! I loved seeing what they would create and they had so much fun doing it. It's a very good price for such a large amount to work with. It dried nicely, just a bit brittle, but overall I was impressed. My son is only five so he made a rock which was nice because then he also was able to paint it afterwards. It's still a work in progress. So this bucket is not just oh one day of memories but multiple. The paint took well to the clay. I suggest putting down paper for your work area if you don't want any mess and definitely don't do it near carpet. I enjoy doing it outside in the shade with some old blankets under us. It's a fun time for any child and family.

    Amazing Crayola Clay
    It came frozen because of the weather lately, so I let it thaw a day at room temperature, it is to me very high quality, and I'm quite picky. The color is nice, it's super easy to work with, and it washes easy off hands. My daughter has started making figurines with this clay, she is already having so much fun.

    Crayola Air-Dry Clay Bucket, Terra-Cotta
    One of our favorite air dry clays to work with. Easy to blend, spread, and manipulate. I LOVE the terra cotta color (we have only worked with the white clay in the past). This tub of clay goes a long way, as you can see from the picture, and there are so many options for creative play-we are building an Easter forest scene for a display. There is a mild odor, somewhat less than the white clay by this brand, and we worked on cardboard while wearing gloves, which made cleanup super quick and easy. First, we made tree stumps-we used old clay cups, worked clay around them, added striations using plastic clay tools, and left them to air dry. We made a clay Easter basket and will try to make eggs next by working a thin layer of clay around a slightly blown up balloon. After one day of drying, we noticed cracks on the tree stumps (clay we wrapped around old plastic cups), which added to the character and aesthetic of our Easter forest scene creation-I do not see any cracks on the baskets. I am yet again, so pleased with this air dry clay and cannot wait to work on more pieces for our display!
